IC92347: VIOS commands to restart Common Agent are needed in the IBM Syst Director Information Center

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• IBM Systems Director (ISD) documentation does not contain
  information about how to stop, start, and to check the status of
  the Common agent on Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) systems.
  

Local fix

• See the steps in the summary section to stop, start, and to
  check the status of  the Common agent on VIOS
  

Problem summary

• Commands to stop, start, and to check the status of  the Common
  agent on VIOS are not documented in the ISD Information Center.
   In addition to the steps mentioned to restart the Common Agent
  for the AIX, IBM i, Linux and Windows operating systems in the
  ISD information center topic on 'Managing agents -> Restarting
  agents -> Restarting Common Agents', the documentation will show
   the commands for VIOS as well. Following are the sample of how
  this information may appear in the ISD Information Center.
  
  1. Stop the Common Agent processes.
  - If you are running VIOS,  run the following command to enter
  the root environment (unrestricted shell).
  oem_setup_env
  
  type the following command in the root environment  and press
  Enter:
   /opt/ibm/director/agent/bin/stopagent_vios
  
  Note: This command will stop Common Agent, Platform Agent, and
  SLP. But it will not stop cimserver. Stop the cimserver by
  
  cimserver -s
  
  2. Start the Common Agent processes.
  -If you are running VIOS,  run the following command to enter
  the root environment (unrestricted shell).
  oem_setup_env
  type the following command in the root environment  and press
  Enter:
  /opt/ibm/director/agent/bin/startagent_vios
  Note: This command will start the Common Agent, Platform Agent,
  CIM, and SLP
  
  3.Obtain the status of Common Agent to ensure that it started
  successfully.
  If you are running VIOS, run the following command to enter the
  root environment (unrestricted shell).
  oem_setup_env
  type the following command in the root environment  and press
  Enter:
  /opt/ibm/director/agent/runtime/agent/bin/endpoint.sh status
  
  
  
  Platforms: VIOS
  
  Versions: IBM Systems Director 6.3.2x
