NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       rpc.statd, statd - Network status monitor daemon

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       /usr/sbin/rpc.statd [-c]

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Available  only  on TruCluster Server systems. This option
       starts the clusterwide network status daemon, which  helps
       provide  highly  available  NFS  service.  Do  not  use -c
       directly. Highly available NFS service  is  configured  by
       default  and  typically  does not require intervention. If
       you do need to start the clusterwide network  status  daemon,
 use the CAA command, caa_start cluster_lockd.

              For  more  information,  see  the TruCluster Server
              Administration manual.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The rpc.statd daemon monitors the status of the client and
       server  sites  in  response to a request made by the local
       rpc.lockd daemon.  When a site failure  is  detected,  the
       rpc.statd  daemon  notifies  the  local  rpc.lockd daemon,
       which then processes the recovery of the locked  files  or
       file regions.

RESTRICTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The crash of a site is only detected on its recovery.

FILES    [Toc]    [Back]

       A  directory  created by the statd daemon.  Each file name
       in the directory is the host name of a  client  or  server
       that  the  statd  daemon will notify upon its recovery.  A
       backup directory created by the statd daemon.  A file created
 by the statd daemon to store its state number.
