Legato NetWorker ClientPak and Storage Node Installation Guide

Starting the NetWorker Daemons

Important: You must start the two generic NetWorker daemons, PORTMAP and

NSREXECD. Note that the third storage node daemon, NSRMMD, is started

automatically by the server, using NSREXECD, for each active storage node tape

device. NetWorker daemons must be running at all times if automated backups and

storage node services are to be enabled.

Before you start the two generic daemons, you must edit the JPRTSTRT and JNSRSTRT

job files. These files start the two generic daemon jobs.

To edit the job files, follow these steps:

1. Change to the NetWorker directory by entering the following command:

CHDIR

/SYS/NETWRKR

2. Alter the JPRTSTRT and the JNSRSTRT files so they work with your system

security and passwords.

a. Locate the following line in the JNSRSTRT file:

!run nsrexecd.netwrkr.sys;info=""

b. Depending on whether you are adding one or more servers, insert the host

NetWorker name or names between the double quotation marks in the

JNSRSTRT file:

– If you have only one NetWorker server, enter the name as follows:

!run nsrexecd.netwrkr.sys;info=

"-s

jupiter

– If you have more than one NetWorker server, enter all server names

between the double quotation marks, as in the following example:

!run nsrexecd.netwrkr.sys;info=

"-s

jupiter

-s

pluto

To start the generic NetWorker daemons, follow these steps:

1. Start the PORTMAP daemon by entering the following command:

STREAM JPRTSTRT

2. Start the NSREXECD daemon by entering the following command:

STREAM JNSRSTRT

Note that before you can add the two STREAM commands to /SYS/PUB/SYSSTRT,

you must first add the commands that start the networking services.

3. Verify that the daemons are running:
