This topic describes how to start Hot Swap under the following operating system environments:
When Natural Access is installed on a host, the Hot Swap manager is installed as a Windows service. It is configured to be started manually, as follows:
Step |
Action |
1 |
Access a command prompt on the host system. |
2 |
Enter: net start hsmgr |
To set the Hot Swap manager to start automatically on a host using the Windows Control Panel, follow these steps:
Step |
Action |
1 |
Open the Administrative Tools applet in the Control Panel. The Administrative Tools window appears. |
2 |
Open the Services applet within this window. The Services window appears. |
3 |
Double-click on NMS HotSwap Manager. The Properties window appears. |
4 |
In the Startup Type drop-down menu, select Automatic. |
5 |
Click OK. |
6 |
Close the Services window. |
7 |
Close the Administrative Tools window. |
Refer to Hot Swap manager: hsmgr for more information.
When Natural Access is installed, the Hot Swap driver and Hot Swap manager are placed in the /opt/nms/hotswap/bin directory. These services can be started as daemons or as console applications.
Note: The Hot Swap manager requires the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to be set to LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /opt/nms/lib:/opt/nms/hotswap/lib.
To start the Hot Swap applications in console mode:
Step |
Action |
1 |
Access a command prompt on the host system. If the host system is a remote host, access the command prompt on the host using a separate third-party utility such as telnet, rsh, or rexec. |
2 |
Start the Hot Swap driver by entering: /opt/nms/hotswap/bin/hssrv |
3 |
Start the Hot Swap manager by entering: /opt/nms/hotswap/bin/hsmgr This script sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable and starts the Hot Swap manager in console mode. |
To start the Hot Swap applications as daemons:
Step |
Action |
1 |
Access a command prompt on the host system. If the host system is a remote host, access the command prompt on the host using a separate third-party utility such as telnet, rsh, or rexec. |
2 |
Start the Hot Swap driver in daemon mode by entering: /opt/nms/hotswap/bin/hssrv -d |
3 |
Ensure that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is set to LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /opt/nms/lib:/opt/nms/hotswap/lib. |
4 |
Start the Hot Swap manager in daemon mode by entering: /opt/nms/hotswap/bin/hsmgr -d |
To run the services in daemon mode at boot time (recommended), edit the /etc/inittab file to include lines that set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable and then start the Hot Swap driver and Hot Swap manager. In this case, do not include the -d command line option. For more information about the inittab file, refer to the UNIX administrator manuals.
Refer to Hot Swap driver: hssrv and to Hot Swap manager: hsmgr for more information.

3 |
Stop the previously running Hot Swap manager by entering: /opt/nms/hotswap/bin/hsmgr -k |
4 |
Start the Hot Swap manager by entering: /opt/nms/hotswap/bin/hsmgr |
