Starting the INETD server

The Internet Daemon (INETD) server must be started in order for a node to be added or started, as well as for merge partition processing.

It is recommended that the INETD server always be running in your cluster.
You can start the INETD server through IBM® Navigator for i by completing the following steps:
  1. In a Web browser, enter http://mysystem:2001, where mysystem is the host name of the system.
  2. Log on to the system with your user profile and password.
  3. In the navigation tree, expand i5/OS Management and select Network.
  4. On the Network page, select TCP/IP Servers. A list of available TCP/IP servers is displayed.
  5. From the list, select INETD.
  6. From the Select Action menu, select Start. The status of the server changes to Started.

Alternatively, you can start the INETD server by using the Start TCP/IP Server (STRTCPSVR) command and specifying the SERVER(*INETD) parameter. When the INETD server is started, a User QTCP (QTOGINTD) job is present in the Active Jobs list on the node.
