Services

Menu path: Status > Services.

The general format and usage of this page is discussed in General GUI Usage.

Services are daemon applications that run on the A3's operating system and provide vital functions for authentication and maintenance. Two major categories are shown:

• Protected Services - these services cannot be changed, as demonstrated by the locked Running icon ().
• Manageable Services - these services can be managed all at once or one at a time:
  • The Stop All button () will stop all services in the manageable category.
  • The Start All button () will start all enabled services in the manageable category.
  • The Restart All button () will restart all enabled services in the manageable category.

Three columns are presented in the services displays:

• Service - the name of the service. A small green warning sign () indicates that the service is not needed for the current A3 configuration.
• Enabled - controls whether the current service is Enabled or Disabled. Stopped services must be Enabled before being started.
• Running - indicates whether the service is Running or Stopped. A service may be restarted by moving the slider to stopped () and then to running ().
• PID - the internal Linux process ID for the service.

Use of any of the buttons in the page will render A3 unresponsive while the operation is completed.

Note

When advised to restart any A3 service, the administrative interface for each cluster member must be used individually to perform the operation. Perform the operation on each member one at a time, waiting for the service(s) to completely restart.
