Stopping and starting the server

Before you complete maintenance or reconfiguration tasks, stop the server. Then, start the server in maintenance mode. When you are finished with the maintenance or reconfiguration tasks, restart the server in production mode.

Before you begin

You must have system or operator privilege to stop and start the Tivoli® Storage Manager server.
  • Stopping the server
    Before you stop the server, prepare the system by ensuring that all database backup operations are completed, and all other processes and sessions are ended. In this way, you can safely shut down the server and ensure that data is protected.
  • Starting the server for maintenance or reconfiguration tasks
    Before you begin server maintenance or reconfiguration tasks, start the server in maintenance mode. When you start the server in maintenance mode, you disable operations that might disrupt your maintenance or reconfiguration tasks.
