Stopping and Starting the DS-System Service / Daemon
Occasionally, you may need to stop the DS-System (e.g. for software upgrades). Use the corresponding DS-System Service Manager for best results.
You can advise customers of DS-System down time with the Maintenance Notification feature (see: "Send DS-System Maintenance Notifications").
Best practice for stopping the DS-System:
- First, stop all activities running on the DS-System;
- Then stop the DS-System (either for standalone or N+1).
- Note: If DS-System is performing an uninterruptible activity (like a master-delta reconstruction) when it receives the stop request, the DS-System service will not stop until the activity is successfully finished. Sometimes a stop request may take a long time to complete, and you must be patient.
1. Start > All Programs > Asigra DS-System > DS-System Service Manager.
2. The DS-System Service Manager screen appears, indicating whether the DS-System is running or if it is stopped.
3. Click Start/Stop to toggle the Service on or off.
- Note: If you are experiencing problems with a newly (re)configured setup, it may be advisable to shutdown and reboot the DS-System machine.
