Starting and Stopping the Nytro XD Solution

> Starting and Stopping the Nytro XD Solution

> On Linux

> If you do not want to enable the Nytro XD solution on your system without uninstalling it from your system, use the start|stop command to start, restart, or stop the Nytro XD solution.

> You can start or stop the Nytro XD solution by using the start|stop command mentioned in the following section.

> The Nytro XD solution Dev Monitor RPM installs /etc/init.d/nytroxd to manage the caching services. Use the # service nytroxd {start|stop|restart|status} command to manage the Nytro XD solution services. At a time, you can use only one option, that is, start, stop, restart, or status in this command. For example, use the # service nytroxd start command to start the Nytro XD solution service. The Nytro XD solution start service takes care of loading of all of the necessary software and performs the Nytro XD solution configuration steps.

> NOTE Make sure that the applications using the devices configured in the Nytro XD solution are stopped and unmounted before running the # service nytroxd stop command. If this command indicates that the Nytro XD solution service failed to stop, because of the device being busy, stop the applications that are using the device devices configured in the Nytro XD solution, and rerun the # service nytroxd stop command. If the Nytro XD solution services are not stopped correctly, the status might not indicate the correct status. Therefore, make sure that the services are stopped correctly, and then restart the Nytro XD solution service.

> The applications can now access and run I/Os on the VDs managed by the Nytro XD solution.

> Running the service nytroxd status command returns this message:

> nytroxd-dev-monitor is running... nytroxd drivers running...

> NOTE The Nytro XD solution service is automatically started every time as part of the system startup process. The Nytro XD solution service is also automatically stopped every time as a part of the system shutdown process.

> On Windows

> If you do not want to enable the Nytro XD solution on your system without uninstalling it from your system, use the start|stop command to start, restart, or stop the Nytro XD solution.
