Parameter

Description

-m

-s

Optional: Starts or stops all the Domain Management Servers sequentially.

The command waits for each Domain Management Server to come up or to stop, before it starts or stops the next one.

Controlling the number of Domain Management Servers to start or stop sequentially

You can decrease the amount of time it takes to start and stop the Multi-Domain Server when there are many Domain Management Servers. To do this, set the value of the environment variable NUM_EXEC_SIMUL to the desired number of Domain Management Servers that start or stop at the same time. By default, the system attempts to start or stop up to 10 Domain Management Servers at the same time.

To set the desired value of the environment variable NUM_EXEC_SIMUL temporarily (in the current shell):

Step	Description
1	Connect to the command line on the Multi-Domain Server.
2	Log in to the Expert mode.
3	Set the value of the environment variable `NUM_EXEC_SIMUL`: `# export NUM_EXEC_SIMUL=<Number of Domain Management Servers>` Example: `export NUM_EXEC_SIMUL=5`
4	Make sure the new value of the environment variable `NUM_EXEC_SIMUL` is set: `# echo $NUM_EXEC_SIMUL` Output must show the configured value.

To set the desired value of the environment variable NUM_EXEC_SIMUL permanently:

Step	Description
1	Connect to the command line on the Multi-Domain Server.
2	Log in to the Expert mode.
3	Back up the current `/etc/rc.d/rc.local` file: `# cp -v /etc/rc.d/rc.local{,_BKP}`
4	Edit the current `/etc/rc.d/rc.local` file: `# vi /etc/rc.d/rc.local`
5	Add this line at the bottom of the file: `export NUM_EXEC_SIMUL=<Number of Domain Management Servers>` Example: `export NUM_EXEC_SIMUL=5` Important - After this line, you must press Enter to add a new line.
6	Save the changes in the file and exit the Vi editor.
7	Reboot.
8	Make sure the new value of the environment variable `NUM_EXEC_SIMUL` is set: `# echo $NUM_EXEC_SIMUL` Output must show the configured value.

To unset the current value of the environment variable NUM_EXEC_SIMUL temporarily (in the current shell):

Item	Description
1	Connect to the command line on the Multi-Domain Server.
2	Log in to the Expert mode.
3	Unset the value of the environment variable `NUM_EXEC_SIMUL`: `# unset NUM_EXEC_SIMUL`
4	Make sure the environment variable `NUM_EXEC_SIMUL` is unset: `# echo $NUM_EXEC_SIMUL` Output must be empty.
