Setting up daemons
By default, IBM® Storage Protect Snapshot daemons are started and restarted automatically. If you need to stop and start the daemon processes for any reason, you can do this as required.
About this task
Important: If you want to configure the background daemons in a clustered environment,
add the commands that are listed here to the High Availability (HA) startup scripts on the
production system.
<instance directory>/acsd<instance directory>/acsgen -D<instance directory>/fcmcli -D (optional)
- The management agent, acsd
- The generic device agent, acsgen -D
- The offload agent, fcmcli -D, if offloaded backups to an IBM Storage Protect server are requested to be started immediately after a snapshot backup.
For each backup or clone instance, a mount agent, acsgen -D -M, must be
started.
<instance directory>/acsgen -D -M -s <deviceclass>[,<deviceclass>...]<clone instance directory>/acsgen -D -M -s <clone_deviceclass>[,<clone_deviceclass>...]
When you run the Configuration Wizard, the daemons are started automatically when you complete the process. If you need to stop and start the daemons independently from a configuration process, launch the Configuration Wizard, and select Edit global settings. Use the Stop background daemons and Start background daemons options as required.
