Starting EVM and Controlling Access
This chapter provides information on starting and stopping the EVM server and EVM
host agents, browsing to the EVM network, and controlling access to the EVM
network. It discusses the following major topics:
• Starting the EVM Service or Daemon on page 7–1
• Establishing Password Control on page 7–4
• Browsing to EVM on page 7–7
Starting the EVM Service or Daemon
Restarting the host computer automatically starts the EVM service for Windows
operating systems or the EVM daemon for UNIX operating systems. Once started, the
service or daemon for an EVM host agent can be manually stopped and restarted on a
host computer, but the service for the EVM server cannot be stopped.
For UNIX computers, the EVM program and associated support scripts are installed
with root execute permission only. To run EVM, root permissions are required.
Automatic Starting of the EVM Service or Daemon
During installation, the EVM server is installed as a Windows service. EVM host
agents are installed as either a Windows service for Windows operating systems, or as
a daemon for UNIX operating systems. The EVM service or daemon can be started
during the installation, if desired. To manually activate this service or daemon
following the EVM host agent installation, refer to the next section.
