IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment, Version 7.1.1.14

Startup scripts

About this task

Startup scripts for the Java™ database gateway, for the OS deployment server, and for the web interface extension are provided for Linux (SuSE, RedHat), AIX® and Solaris. They are located in the tpmfos/scripts directory. For Linux and AIX, the scripts are copied during installation to the startup scripts directory of the platform. You might have to adapt variables in these scripts to adapt them to your OS deployment server installation paths.

Note: Scripts generated for SLES 10 are valid only if you have installed the latest updates for this operating system.

Scripts for the Apache Derby database server are not provided and you need to create them yourself in order to completely automate the startup process of your OS deployment server. If you do not create startup scripts for the database server, the OS deployment server (for which scripts have been created during setup) does not start correctly after a reboot or a shutdown/restart of the computer on which it is installed. You need to stop your OS deployment server and start or restart the services in the order described in Table 1.

Table 1. Correct order for starting services
Starting order	Service	Script provided
1	Apache Derby database server (or your other database server)	No
2	Java database gateway	Yes
3	OS deployment server	Yes
4	Web interface	Yes

To start the services using the scripts provided on a RedHat server, for instance, type

/etc/init.d/dbgw start
/etc/init.d/rembo start
/etc/init.d/rbagent start

To stop the same services, use the reverse order. For instance, using the scripts provided on a RedHat server, type

/etc/init.d/rbagent stop
/etc/init.d/rembo stop
/etc/init.d/dbgw stop

Note: The dbgw service is provided in each TPM server, but in the integrated environment the child server installed by TPM does not use this service.
