Managing the AMASS File System

amassstat

View and change the current status—Active or Inactive—of

AMASS.

Note

After a system reboot, AMASS comes up in an Active state regardless of the status before the reboot.

Shutdown Tasks

Prior to shutting down, AMASS performs the following tasks:

•Prevents new files from being opened

•Waits five minutes (default) to allow all files to close

-If this time expires and there still are open files, AMASS remains Active but sends a warning message, unless the -foption was used.

•Updates the checkpoint area

•Notifies clients of the impending shutdown

•Gracefully shuts down AMASS

•Sends a failure message to clients if they request a file from the AMASS file system after it is shutdown
