Starting a service

Before you begin

You must be a cluster administrator. You must register a service before you can start it.

About this task

You may have to start a service if you have registered it and have not specified for it to start automatically. The state of your registered service is DEFINED if you need to start it.

Procedure

  • Start a service using the cluster management console:
    1. From the cluster management console Dashboard, select System & Services > EGO Services > Service Profiles.

      The Services page displays.

    2. In your consumer tree, navigate to the location where the service you want to start is registered or see a list of all registered services by clicking the cluster name.
    3. For the service you want to start, click Actions and then select Start.
    4. Click OK to confirm that you want to start that service.
  • Start a service manually:

    You can usually start a service from the cluster management console. However, if you have stopped the WEBGUI or you are having trouble accessing the console, you may need to start a service manually.

    1. Log on to the command line as a cluster administrator.
    2. Run egosh service view to see the current status of your services.

      If the service you want to start has the status DEFINED or ERROR, you can proceed to the next step to start it manually.

    3. Run egosh service start service_name where service_name is the name of the service you want to start.

      Your service starts.
