Starting and Stopping Nytro XD on Linux
The Nytro XD Dev Monitor RPM installs System-V initscript, /etc/init.d/nytroxd, to manage the caching services. Use the # service nytroxd {start|stop|restart|status} command to manage the Nytro XD services. At a time, you can use only one option, that is, start, stop, restart, or status in this command. For example, use the # service nytroxd start command to start the Nytro XD service. The Nytro XD start service takes care of the loading of all of the necessary software and performing the Nytro XD configuration steps.
NOTE Make sure that the applications using the Nytro XD devices are stopped and unmounted before running the # service nytroxd stop command. If this command indicates that the Nytro XD service failed to stop, because of the device being busy, stop the applications using the Nytro XD device, and rerun the # service nytroxd stop command. If the Nytro XD services are not stopped correctly, the Nytro XD status might not indicate the correct status. Therefore, make sure that the services are stopped correctly, and then restart the Nytro XD service.
NOTE The term virtual drive (VD) is a general term used to indicate a cached device.
The applications can now access and run the I/Os on the VD managed by Nytro XD.
