Checking the status of a running FSE implementation
After you have started the FSE daemons (services) on all machines that are part of the FSE implementation,
you can verify that the Firebird SuperServer and the omniNames daemon are running on the consolidated
system or the FSE server, and that the FSE daemons (services) are running on all FSE hosts.
FSE systems require the Firebird SuperServer (FirebirdSS) to be running on the consolidated FSE system
or the FSE server in order to manage the Resource Management Database (RMDB). Firebird SuperServer is
started automatically at the end of the Firebird's RPM package installation.
omniNames is the CORBA Naming Service daemon that allows FSE daemons (services) to communicate
with each other. It must be running on the system that hosts the FSE server, that is, on the consolidated FSE
system or the FSE server system.
