Starting the services

The platform control tool is available to start the services running on IBM® Intelligent Operations Center servers.

About this task

The IOCControl command must be run as the ibmadmin user. If not logged on as the ibmadmin, run the su - ibmadmin command to switch to the ibmadmin user.

Attention: Starting individual services should only be done by experienced IBM Intelligent Operations Center administrators. Unpredictable results can occur if services are not started in the required order.

Procedure

On the management server run the following command to start all the IBM Intelligent Operations Center services.

 /opt/IBM/ISP/mgmt/scripts/IOCControl.sh start all password

where password is the password for the platform control tool defined when the platform control tool was installed.

The services are started in the required order. Prerequisite services are started before dependent services. For example, database and directory services are started first.

To start only one service, run the following command.

 /opt/IBM/ISP/mgmt/scripts/IOCControl.sh start service_ID password

where service_ID is an ID listed under Target Options in the IOCControl help and where password is the password for the platform control tool defined when the platform control tool was installed.

Results

The requested IBM Intelligent Operations Center services are started.

What to do next

After running the IOCControl.sh command, check the logs in the /opt/IBM/ISP/mgmt/logs directory. The logs contain the results of the IOCControl.sh command.
