Registering and Unregistering DFM Processes

You can use pdcmd to manually unregister and reregister DFM processes with the CiscoWorks daemon manager. This is useful when you want to do any of the following:

•Specify clients that can connect to DFM.

•Configure adapters to restart automatically whenever the DFM server stops and restarts.

•Configure the DFM server to use a privileged port.

Because these commands are complex, be sure to refer to the examples in these sections:

•Example 1: Specifying Clients that Can Connect to DFM, page 11-18

•Example 2: Configuring the DFM Server to Use a Privileged Port, page 11-19Before registering a process, you must unregister the related processes in this order:

1.Any processes that depend on the DfmServer process.

2.The DfmServer process.

3.The DfmBroker process.

Use the following syntax when unregistering DFM processes (for Windows, the command is pdcmd.exe):

NMSROOT/bin/pdcmd -uprocess
