NAME
autostart — enable or disable the VERITAS Volume Manager Storage Administrator (VMSA) server in auto-start mode
SYNOPSIS
autostart
{ on | off } [ VMSAHOME ]
DESCRIPTION
Enabling the VMSA server in auto-start mode (autostart on)
causes the server
to automatically start when a VMSA client tries to connect.
The server automatically terminates when no clients are connected
for a certain amount of time (15 minutes, by default).
Enabling auto-start mode adds service entries to the
files /etc/services and inetd.conf,
and removes the boot-time VMSA server startup scripts.
A SIGHUP is sent to inetd so that the new inetd.conf
entries are read.
To confirm that auto-start mode is enabled, run the following:
The output should show that a VMSA service has a LISTEN state.
Disabling the server auto-start mode (autostart off)
removes entries from the
files /etc/services and inetd.conf.
The boot-time VMSA startup scripts are recreated, and SIGHUP is sent to inetd.
When auto-start mode is enabled, the
amount of time before the server automatically terminates
when no clients are connected is set to 15 minutes by default.
The number of minutes can be changed by editing the following
property in the $VMSAHOME/vmsa/properties file:
vrts.server.noClientsTimeout=15
