Starting/Stopping OMNM
The OpenManage Network Manager (OMNM) Application server processes network information
for Web-based clients. The Application server monitors devices, and produces the output for the
Web server and then makes it available for the Web clients. When you install or upgrade the
OMNM application, the installer automatically stops the servers before installation and starts them
after installation. However, there are many instances where you need to stop/stop the servers. The
following tasks show how to start the Application server and its subordinate process, the mediation
server, which communicates directly with devices, and how to stop these processes when needed:
•
Starting/Stopping Servers
• Starting Web Client
Starting/Stopping Servers
• Starting application server . In Windows, you can use the Start button ( Start >
OpenManage Network Manager > Start application server ), or type startappserver in a
command shell, or right-click the server manager tray icon and select
Start ( if you have
installed this software as a service
and that icon is red , not green ).
NOTE:
A message declares “Application server is now up” in My Alerts in the bottom left corner of the screen of
the web client when application server startup is complete. You can also make server monitor appear
with the
pmtray command either in a shell or from a start menu icon.
• Starting web server . If this does not auto-start, you can use the Start button ( Start >
OpenManage Network Manager > Synergy Manager ), or right-click the web server’s tray icon
to start it. You can also double-click this icon and automate web server startup. From a
command line, you can also start this manager with
[installation
root]\oware\synergy\tomcat*\bin\startsynergy.
To start the Web server in Linux in a shell, type /etc/init.d/synergy start. Stop
web server with
/etc/init.d/synergy stop.
CAUTION:
If your OpenManage Network Manager environment has a firewall, ports 8080 and 80 must be open for it
to function correctly. If you want to use cut-thru outside of your network, then ports 8082 – 8089 must be
open. OpenManage Network Manager uses the first one available, so typically 8082, but if another
application uses 8082, OpenManage Network Manager uses 8083 and so on. Web Services for
OpenManage Network Manager previously used port 80, but for this version, they use 8089. See Ports
Used on page 1021 for a complete list of all ports impacted.
Here are the various ways to start (and stop) OpenManage Network Manager elements:
Windows Start Menu
Program Shortcut
Windows Command Line Linux Command Line
Server Monitor pmtray N/A
Start Application

startappserver startappserver
Network Manager startsynergy.com
Note: this is in the
oware\synergy\tomcat*\bin directory,
and is not on the path.
While no monitor display appears, you
can start the Web server with these
commands: startportal.sh start/
startportal.sh stop
