Starting or Restarting the Host-Agent Software on the UNIX (Linux) OS

The SMagent software automatically starts after you reboot the host. However, you must start the software manually if you stop it to add storage subsystems.

To start or restart the host-agent software, type this command at the prompt, and press Enter:

SMagent start

The SMagent software might take a little time to initialize. The cursor is shown, but the terminal window does not respond. When the program starts, this message is shown.

SMagent started.

After the program completes the startup process, text similar to these messages is shown.
