Stop all Clearcase services on AIX system - Stop completly Clearcase


How to stop completly Clearcase: - ALBD (Atria Location Broker), albd_server. - IBM Rational Lock Manager, lockmgr. - Rational Credential Manager. - MVFS Service, I think is not possible because is a kernel module.

Chapter init_ccase of Reference manual only provides one command line:

/etc/rc.atria { start | stop }

For information: - AIX d1dw753 1 7 00F60BAD4C00 (uname -a) - ClearCase version 8.0.1.1 (cleartool –VerAll)


Solution

  • First, you need to be root.

    Stop all Clearcase services on AIX system - Stop completly Clearcase

    Second, the official documentation init_ccase does mention, in addition of /etc/rc.atria { start | stop }:

    • Unexports any view/VOB combinations that were exported through /etc/exports.mvfs to enable non-ClearCase access
    • Unmounts all VOBs
    • Kills the vob_server processes for VOBs whose storage directories are on the local host
    • Kills the albd_server process, which also causes view_server, db_server, and vobrpc_server processes to exit
    • Kills the lockmgr process
    • (On AIX 4) Unloads the MVFS from the operating system kernel
    • Unmounts the viewroot directory

    So regarding MVFS and AIX 4, the "Loading and Unloading Kernel Extensions" page suggests kmod_unload command.

    That would stop completely ClearCase.

    The commands listed in "Uninstall ClearCase 7.1 on Linux or Unix" (section AIX), like rmvfs mvfs, would be "too much" here.
