3.4 Notes on starting and stopping

• Do not change the System account initial settings in the JP1/IM - Manager service's Logon settings. In addition, do not select the Allow service to interact with desktop option. If this option is selected, the service might not function normally.

  For details about the JP1/IM - Manager service, see 2.8 JP1/IM - Manager service in the JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.

• If you restart Event Service of JP1/Base, you must also restart JP1/IM - Manager. In addition, you must restart the JP1/IM - View that was connected. If you do not restart it, you will have problems displaying events, for example.

• If a process does not stop even after you have stopped all services of JP1/IM - Manager for a logical host, you can execute the jco_killall.cluster command to forcibly stop the process. Use this command for stopping a process only when a process does not stop after you have used a normal method and stopped the JP1/IM - Manager services.

• If you collect a large number^#1 of events during startup of JP1/IM - Manager, the startup time^#2 will lengthen in proportion to the number of events that are collected. Consequently, the JP1/IM3-Manager service (in Windows) or the jco_start command (in UNIX) may time out^#3 and return an error value. In such a case, JP1/IM - Manager may appear not to be starting, but startup will be completed after a while.

  #1

  The number will vary depending on the event collection filtering condition and the number of events that have accumulated in the event database.

  #2

  The startup time will vary depending on the machine's performance.

  #3

  The timeout period for the JP1/IM3-Manager service (in Windows) is 125 seconds. The timeout period for the jco_start command (in UNIX) is 300 seconds. For details about setting the timeout for the jco_start command, see 14.7.11 Considering the timeout period during startup or stop of JP1/IM - Manager (in UNIX) in the JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.

• If the IM database fails to start, it may be unstable because it is in restart suspension (after the IM database fails to start, 8 is returned as the return value when the jimdbstatus command is executed).

  Factors that cause the IM database to be in restart suspension and to become unstable are as follows:

  • Insufficient disk capacity (not insufficient IM database capacity)

  • Insufficient memory

  If the IM database is in restart suspension and is unstable, you cannot normally stop the IM database by stopping services or executing a command. To avoid this state, you must execute the jimdbstop command with the -f option specified to forcibly stop the IM database.

• If you are using the IM database, start JP1/Base, the IM database service, and JP1/IM - Manager in that order.

• If you are using the IM database, stop JP1/IM - Manager, the IM database service, and JP1/Base in that order.

• If JP1/IM - MO is being used, stop the JP1/IM - Message Optimizer service of JP1/IM - MO on the connection source before stopping JP1/IM - Manager.

• If you terminate hosts from JP1/Power Monitor by using the default description example given in the JP1/Base startup sequence definition file (jp1svprm.dat), KAVA4516-E is output to the event log in the service termination processing for the IM database.

  To restrict the output of KAVA4516-E, change the definition of the startup sequence definition file as follows:

  • For a physical host

  (1) Create a batch file that has the following content with any file name:

  Manager-path\bin\imdb\jimdbstop.exe

  net stop HiRDBEmbeddedEdition_JM0

  (2) Set the startup sequence definition file in a way such as the following:

  The following shows the settings to set when the name and storage destination of the batch file created in step (1) is "C:\jp1\jp1imdbstopservice.bat":

  [Jp1IM-Manager DB]

  Name=JP1/IM-Manager DB Server

  ServiceName=HiRDBEmbeddedEdition_JM0

  StopCommand=C:\jp1\jp1imdbstopservice.bat

  • For a logical host

  (1) Create a batch file that has the following content with any file name for each logical host:

  Manager-path\bin\imdb\jimdbstop.exe -h logical-host-name

  net stop HiRDBClusterService_JMn^#

  #: n is a number in the range from 1 to 9. Use the value specified for LOGICALHOSTNUMBER in the cluster setup information file.

  (2) Set the startup sequence definition file in a way such as the following:

  The following shows the settings to set when the name and storage destination of the batch file created in step (1) is "C:\jp1\jp1imdbstopservice.bat":

  [Jp1IM-Manager DB]

  Name=JP1/IM-Manager DB Cluster Service_logical-host-name

  ServiceName=HiRDBClusterService_JMn^#

  StopCommand=C:\jp1\jp1imdbstopservice.bat

  #: n is a number in the range from 1 to 9. Use the value specified for LOGICALHOSTNUMBER in the cluster setup information file.
