What is the difference between egosh ego start and egostartup?

Running egosh ego start without any command line options will start EGO on the local host.

Running egosh ego start with a list of host names will start EGO on all of the specified hosts.

Running egosh ego start followed by the "all" keyword will start EGO on all hosts in the cluster. This is equivalent to running the egostartup script:
  • Windows: egostartup.bat
  • Linux®: egostartup.sh

If you are starting up the primary host with any of these commands, this will also start any system services that are defined as having StartType "AUTOMATIC". By default, all system services included with IBM® Spectrum Symphony have StartType "AUTOMATIC". These include SD, RS, WEBGUI, and more.

Refer to ego and egostartup for more information about these commands.
