How to restart vxsvc or isisd

Details:
The vxsvc process or server process for VERITAS Enterprise Administrator (VEA) is
restarted with the following sequence:

1. Kill or make sure that the vxsvc process is not running:


# ps -ef | grep vxsvc

If the process is running, do the following:


/opt/VRTSob/bin/vxsvc -k

If, by doing the above command, you encounter errors such as the following:
# ./vxsvc -k
Request is in process..
Server was not running

This means that the kill script did not find the PID of vxsvc. The vxsvc process
should be killed:
# ps -ef | grep vxsvc
root 520 1 0 13:09:28 ? 1:50 /opt/VRTSob/bin/vxsvc -r
/opt/VRTSob/config/Registry
# kill 520

If the following error occurs, kill the vxsvc process and remove the
/var/vx/isis/vxisis.lock file, then proceed to Step #2.
vxsvc: Another instance of vxsvc seems to be running.
Please verify with the command ps(1m).
If no other instance is running, remove the file:
/var/vx/isis/vxisis.lock
And restart vxsvc

2. To restart the isisd and vxsvc, run the following:


/etc/init.d/isisd start

Note: Stopping and restarting isisd or vxsvc will not affect a live running
system.
