intial file for turn on processes

[AlbertLi]

Hi Experts:

Our server is rp5470 and storage system is DS2405.

Q1: What are these two processes /opt/sanmgr/hostagent/../jre/bin/../bin/PA_RISC2.0/native_threa and ./diald for?

Q2: which inital file set these two processes ./diald and /opt/sanmgr/hostagent/../jre/bin/../bin/PA_RISC2.0/native_threa to turn on automatically after system reboot?

Q3: Could I kill these two processes manually? any impact?

Q4: When we replace one of disk in DS2405, ./diald and /opt/sanmgr/hostagent/../jre/bin/../bin/PA_RISC2.0/native_threa processes will be triggered to turn on or not?

thanks a lot your advice.

Shalom Albert,

1) Looks like a java based SAN manager product.
2) Check your startup softlinks in /sbin/rc3.d
3) I'd think if you are using this box to manage san storage, you would lose this service. However yhou should not lose access to your san, if you have one.
4) No effect.

Hi Experts:

Q1: Could you tell me more detail about which initial file set ./diald and /opt/sanmgr/hostagent/../jre/bin/../bin/PA_RISC2.0/native_threa to turn on automatically after system reboot?

I found rc3.d but I can't find which file.

Q2: How could I kill these two process permanently?

thanks a lot your advice

Albert,
I think the startup script for diald is something like :
/opt/sanmgr/CommandView/client/sbin/HA_Dial_Start

Hi Peter:

Thanks your answer. I think your answer for how to start dial damon manually. But I want to know that when system reboot, server will check initial file to turn on processes. I want to know which initial file set dial process and I need to check dial process to turn on by default or what....

Please advice.

Albert,

Most of the HP-UX startup scripts get their parameteres and variables from files in the /etc/rc.config.d directory. Check there to see if there is are configuration files for the two daemons. If so, you may be able to disable the start of these daemons there.

If that doesn't apply, you can remove the symlink in the /etc/rcX.d directory that starts the daemons. This will disable theme as well.

Finally, check your /etc/inittab file. These processes may be started there, though I doubt it. Be very careful when editing the /etc/inittab file; bad things can happen if you make a mistake.

Ultimately, you need to understand what these daemons are doing BEFORE you disable them.

Mark
