About this appendix:
This appendix describes the Sheer DNA utility scripts.
Restarting Sheer DNA Gateway, below, describes how to restart the Sheer
DNA Gateway from the Unix command line.
Restarting a Sheer DNA Unit, page 155, describes how to restart a Sheer
DNA Unit from the Unix command line.
Executing a Command on all Sheer DNA Units, page 156, describes the
script used to execute a given command on all of the Sheer DNA Units.
A.1 Restarting Sheer DNA Gateway
The user can restart the Sheer DNA Gateway from the Unix command line.
To restart the Sheer DNA Gateway
1. Open a Telnet session to the Sheer DNA Gateway machine and login to
the machine.
2. Execute the script:
~sheer/Main/mvm.csh
Note: When the Sheer DNA Gateway is restarted, all of the clients are
reconnected.
Note: The Server status can be verified using Sheer DNA Manage.
A.2 Restarting a Sheer DNA Unit
Restarting a Sheer DNA Unit machine kills all of the AVM processes on the
machine and restarts them.
Given that the system saves part of its information within the process
memory, restarting a Sheer DNA Unit will cause some of the information to
disappear. It will, therefore, take as long as the longest full polling cycle for
the system to recover all of the information that was stored in the process
memory prior to the restart. Data that was saved in persistent storage before
restarting will be available immediately.
