Housekeeping: starting and stopping the RMA Server

This topic explains how to use the RMA housekeeping scripts and how to purge log, audit and trace files if they become too large.

About RMA housekeeping scripts

All the RMA scripts are located in the <FEX_RMA_INSTALL_DIR>/bin directory.

These scripts include the housekeeping scripts that enable you to start, stop and check the current status of the RMA Server. The housekeeping scripts do not require any parameters.

Running the RMA housekeeping scripts

Go to the <FEX_RMA_INSTALL_DIR>/bin directory.
Run the script for your OS:

Task	Command
Task	on Windows	on UNIX
Start RMA Server	rmaStart.bat	rmaStart.sh
Stop RMA Server	rmaStop.bat	rmaStop.sh
Check status of RMA Server	rmaStatus.bat	rmaStatus.sh

After starting the RMA Server you can check that it is fully booted by consulting the server rma.log file, located in the <FEX_RMA_INSTALL_DIR>/logs directory.

Installing (or removing) the RMA Server Windows service

To install the RMA Server Windows service, run the script <InstallationDir>/RMAServer/service/installRMA.bat.

To remove the RMA Server Windows service, run the script <InstallationDir>/RMAServer/service/removeRMA.bat.

Starting and stopping the RMA Server in Windows service mode

If, during installation, FEX RMA was installed as a Windows service, you can start and stop the RMA Server as follows.

Starting the RMA Server

From the Windows Start menu , select Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
Windows displays the Services window.
Scroll down the Services list and right-click the FEX RMA service.
From the context menu, select Start.

Alternatively, run the script <InstallationDir>/RMAServer/service/startRMA.bat.

Stopping the RMA Server

From the Windows Start menu , select Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
Windows displays the Services window.
Scroll down the Services list and right-click the FEX RMA service.
From the context menu, select Stop.

Alternatively, run the script <InstallationDir>/RMAServer/service/stopRMA.bat.

Purging log, audit and trace files

Log, audit and trace files can become quite large after time. You can delete the following files if you no longer need the information:

Type of file	File name	Location
RMA Server log	rma.log	<FEX_RMA_INSTALL_DIR>/logs
RMA command line log	rma_cmdline.log	<FEX_RMA_INSTALL_DIR>/logs
Audit	audit.log	<FEX_RMA_INSTALL_DIR>/logs
