Equipment
This chapter contains information to power-up the hardware
components of a VolServ system and information and
procedures to start-up and shutdown VolServ.
Perform start-up of all equipment in accordance with the
appropriate host computer, archive, and tape drive manufacturer
manuals.
There is no required sequence of power application for the
hardware components of the VolServ system with one
exception; power must be applied to the ER90 transport units
before power is applied to the ER90 electronic units.
Start-Up
VolServ
Archive configuration can be performed from the Volume
Server System Console without VolServ running. Note,
however, that VolServ software initialization terminates if an
archive is being reconfigured when VolServ software
initialization is begun.
The user initializing VolServ must have root or vsadm
privileges.
Step 1. Login as vsadm, either remotely or locally, on the
VolServ host computer.
Step 2. Type volserv or volserv -s at the command line.
Note
Remote login requires that the environment where
the command is executed be properly set up as
described in the Installing VolServ book for the
appropriate host platform.
