I managed to get my hands on a restart script from IBM PMR L3 to start up SolidD and the Video Manager at OS start up and thought that I should share it since it can be a little daunting trying to put together a script on an OS that for some may be quite new to them.

The Video Manager uses SolidDB which needs to be be started first before WAS starts. This involves creating start up scripts, registering them with chkconfig and then changing the start up order.

These scripts are designed for Linux so RHEL (or CentOS). I don’t believe they will work for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES).

The script for WAS will allow you to stop the application server but it will not allow me to stop SolidDB that needs to be done manually. I’m sure it can be tweaked to work but these are for OS start up and they work for that use case.

Start up order

The numbers shown after the slash indicate the start up order. The nearer to zero the sooner it starts up. In the following examples S90VMgr starts up before S97SolidDB.init which is not what is wanted. We want SolidDB to start first so by renaming the files we can manipulate the start up order.

# cd /etc/rc.d
# find . -iname “*solid*”
./rc1.d/K03SolidDB.init
./init.d/SolidDB.init
./rc0.d/K03SolidDB.init
./rc4.d/K03SolidDB.init
./rc6.d/K03SolidDB.init
./rc5.d/S97SolidDB.init
./rc3.d/S97SolidDB.init
./rc2.d/K03SolidDB.init

# find . -iname “*VMgr*”
./rc0.d/K10VMgr
./rc2.d/K10VMgr
./rc6.d/K10VMgr
./rc5.d/S90VMgr
./rc1.d/K10VMgr
./rc3.d/S90VMgr
./init.d/VMgr
./rc4.d/K10VMgr

Change start up order

These steps change the start up order so that SolidDB starts before WAS.

# cd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/
# mv ./S97SolidDB.init ./S90SolidDB.init
# mv ./S90VMgr ./S97VMgr

# cd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/
# mv ./S97SolidDB.init ./S90SolidDB.init
# mv ./S90VMgr ./S97VMgr
