Restarting the Service 4
When you modify vPostgres configuration files, you need to stop and restart the vPostgres database service.
This section describes how to stop and restart the service, depending on whether you installed it as an appliance
or with .rpm files.
Stopping and Starting the Appliance Service
If you installed the vPostgres database service as an appliance, use the following commands to stop and then
restart the service. For the appliance service, these commands also stop and start VMware's High Availability
monitor process that makes sure the database process is up and running.
To Stop the Process:
$service aurora_mon stop
To Start the Process:
$service aurora_mon start
Stopping and Starting the RPM Service
If you installed the vPostgres database service using RPM files, the vPostgres service is running within your
virtual machine. Use the following commands to stop and then restart the vPostgres service. Note that in this
configuration, the vPostgres service does not include VMware's High Availability monitor feature.
To Stop the Process:
$service vpostgres stop
To Start the Process:
$service vpostgres start
