Setting the QuickStart server run level

It is possible to set the run level of a server to one of the following system run levels:

  • daemons
  • maintenance
  • multiuser

If you run PolicyCenter in a clustered environment, you cannot place all the computers in a particular run level with a single command. Instead, you must run the command individually on each cluster member.

Set the QuickStart run level at server start

Procedure

  1. Open a command prompt and navigate to the PolicyCenter installation directory.
  2. Run the following command:
    • gwb runServer -run-level n

    The value of n is the numeric value of the run level as defined in Server run levels.

Set the server run level through system tools

Procedure

  1. Ensure that the PolicyCenter server is running.
  2. Open a command prompt and navigate to the following location in your PolicyCenter installation directory:
    • admin/bin
  3. Enter one of the following commands:
    • system_tools -user user –password password –daemons
    • system_tools -user user –password password –maintenance
    • system_tools -user user –password password –multiuser

    You must supply the user name (user) and password (password) for a user with administrative privileges on the PolicyCenter server. The run level is a value as defined in Server run levels.

Set the server run level through web services

Procedure

  1. Ensure that the PolicyCenter server is running.
  2. Call the following method on the SystemToolsAPI web service:
    • SystemToolsAPI.setRunLevel

What to do next

If you run PolicyCenter in a clustered environment, you cannot place all the computers in a particular run level with a single method call. Instead, you must call the method individually on each cluster member.
