Agent functions

Online 

Starts nfsd and mountd daemons for all kernels. If daemons are not running, the agent starts the daemons and exits. 

  • For Red Hat, the agent also starts the lockd and statd daemons.
  • For SUSE, the agent also starts the lockd daemon. The sm-notify daemon sends lock recovery notifications, which then perform their jobs and terminate automatically.

Monitor 

Monitors versions 2 and 3 of the nfsd daemon and versions 1, 2, and 3 of the mountd daemon for all kernels. 

  • For Red Hat, the agent also monitors the lockd and statd daemons. Monitors versions 1, 3, 4 of the lockd daemon and version 1 of the statd daemon. When the value of the NFSv4Support attribute is 1, nfsd version 4 is also monitored.
  • For SUSE, the agent also monitors the lockd daemon. Monitors versions 1, 3, 4 of the lockd daemon. Monitors version 1 of statd.

Clean 

Stops nfsd and mountd daemons for all kernels. 

  • For Red Hat, the agent also stops the lockd and statd daemons.
  • For SUSE, the agent also stops the lockd daemon.
