Daemons Tab
The Daemons tab displays the status of NetBackup daemons on the master server you are monitoring.
More About Services:
Standalone daemons: These NetBackup daemons are always running and listening to accept connections. Examples include bpdbm, bprd, bpjobd, vmd, the robotic daemons, nbdbd, and visd.
The Global Data Manager product's Persistent Storage daemon, (nbdbd) runs only if the GDM server or GDM-managed server license is added to the NetBackup server. visd (the Global Data Manager product's Information Server daemon), requires nbdbd to be running before visd will start. visd is active only if a GDM server or managed server license is present.
Multi-process standalone daemons: NetBackup daemons that "fork" a child process to handle requests. Examples include bpdbm and bprd.
Single-process standalone daemons: NetBackup daemons that accept connections and handle requests in the same process. Examples include the Media Manager robotic daemons.
inetd daemons: NetBackup daemons that are usually launched by way of inetd(1m) or bpinetd. Examples include bpcd, bpjava-msvc, vopied, and vnetd.
Note
After restarting daemons in the Activity Monitor or by using a command, we recommend exiting all instances of the NetBackup-Java Administration Console, then restarting the console using the jnbSA command. (The jnbSA command is described in the NetBackup Commands for UNIX guide.)
