Chapter 3: Starting and Stopping the Emulex HBA Manager Application
This chapter describes how to start and stop the Emulex HBA Manager application in Windows and Linux.
NOTE: For VMware systems, if you are running only a CIM client, you do not need to stop it.
To start the Emulex HBA Manager application, from the Windows desktop, select Start > All Programs > Emulex > HBA Manager. If Secure Management is enabled, you are prompted for your user name and password. See Section 4.2, Using Emulex HBA Manager Application Secure Management, for more information.
To stop the Emulex HBA Manager application, from the Emulex HBA Manager application menu bar, select File > Exit.
Linux installations of the Emulex HBA Manager application include two basic daemon processes that are affected by the start and stop scripts:
n elxhbamgrd – The remote management daemon, which services requests from the Emulex HBA Manager application clients running on remote host machines.
n elxdiscoveryd – The discovery daemon, which maintains all discovery data (remote and local) for the Emulex HBA Manager application clients running on the local machine.
The elxhbamgrd daemon starts at system boot time. The elxdiscoveryd daemon starts whenever the Emulex HBA Manager application GUI process first runs on the host machine.
To start the Emulex HBA Manager application, use the ocmanager script. The script is located in the
/usr/sbin/ocmanager directory.
# /usr/sbin/ocmanager/ocmanager
If Secure Management is enabled, you are prompted for your user name and password. See Section 4.2, Using Emulex HBA Manager Application Secure Management, for more information.
To stop the Emulex HBA Manager application, use one of the following methods:
n From the menu bar, select File > Exit.
n From the shell, use the stop_ocmanager script located in the Emulex HBA Manager application installation directory.
# /usr/sbin/ocmanager/stop_ocmanager -n
NOTE: The -n parameter stops only the Emulex HBA Manager application and the associated elxdiscoveryd daemon. When the stop_ocmanager script is run without the -n parameter, the script stops the Emulex HBA Manager application and all associated daemons.
