Starting the Library Manager

After you create the configuration file, start the Library Manager as user ermm, as in the following example:

$ ermmLmStart

Usage

ermmLmStart [-h|-l LM_name|-c|-e|-a]
If no option is specified, all available Library Managers are started.
-h, --help
Print this help.
-l LM_name
Name of the Library Manager that should be started. Specify an LM name. (The LM name is not a library name.)
-c
Check running LMs and the ermmLmStart daemon.
-e
Show enabled LMs (names of LMs that the processes should be running).
-a
Show available LMs (names of LMs that the configuration files show as available to run).

To start the all LM processes, enter the ermmLmStart command with no options, as in the following example: 

[ermm@eidai ~]$ ps -ef | grep Library | grep -v grep

[ermm@eidai ~]$ ermmLmStart
