vThe mount (MNT) daemon

vThe server (SVR) daemon

vThe block I/O (BIO) daemon

vThe Remote Procedure Call (RPC) binder daemon

If you are choosing to end just one daemon, be sure you understand the appropriate order for ending NFS daemons and the possible consequences of ending deamons in an order other than that speci®ed above.

If you attempt to end a daemon or daemons that are not running, they will not cause the command to fail, and it will continue to end other daemons you have requested to end.

Displaying NFS Client Daemons

To display NFS client daemons, you can use the Work with Active Jobs (WRKACTJOB) command and look in the subsystem QSYSWRK for the existence of the following jobs:

vQNFSRPCD, the RPC Binder Daemon (RPCD)

vQNFSMNTD, the Mount Daemon (MNTD)

vQNFSNSMD, the Network Status Monitor Daemon (NSMD)

vQNFSNLMD, the Network Lock Manager Daemon (NLMD)

vQNFSBIOD, the Block I/O Daemon (BIOD, there may be multiple entries for this daemon)

Restrictions

1. You must have *IOSYSCFG special authority to use this command.

AS/400E specifications

The IBM AS/400E, now more commonly known as IBM i, is a robust and versatile midrange server that has been designed to provide a comprehensive computing solution for businesses of all sizes. First introduced in the late 1980s, the AS/400 series has undergone multiple enhancements and rebranding, with the AS/400E being one of the notable iterations. This powerful platform is closely associated with IBM's commitment to reliability, scalability, and integrated business solutions.

One of the main features of the AS/400E is its highly integrated architecture that combines hardware and software into a cohesive system. This integration allows for seamless operations, reducing the complexity typically associated with managing disparate systems. The system is powered by IBM's proprietary OS/400 operating system, which has evolved into IBM i, featuring advanced capabilities like object-oriented programming, integrated database management, and security features that are essential for enterprise environments.

A key characteristic of the AS/400E is its robust database support, primarily through the use of DB2 for i. This integrated database management system enables efficient data handling and retrieval, facilitating real-time business analytics and reporting. Furthermore, the platform supports a variety of programming languages, including RPG, COBOL, and Java, making it flexible for developers who require diverse tools for application development.

The AS/400E is also known for its exceptional reliability and uptime, making it a preferred choice for critical business applications in industries such as finance, healthcare, and manufacturing. This reliability is backed by advanced error detection and correction mechanisms, as well as redundancy features that help prevent data loss and minimize downtime.

In terms of scalability, the AS/400E can effortlessly expand to accommodate growing business demands. Organizations can increase processing power by adding more resources without significant disruption. This scalability, combined with the system’s built-in virtualization capabilities, allows businesses to optimize resource usage and streamline operations.

Security is another defining feature of the AS/400E. The platform incorporates various layers of security measures, including user authentication, encryption, and comprehensive auditing capabilities, ensuring that sensitive business data is protected against unauthorized access.

Overall, the IBM AS/400E remains a powerful tool in the enterprise computing landscape, providing businesses with an integrated, reliable, and secure solution for their technological needs. Its enduring popularity is a testament to its capability to evolve with changing business requirements while maintaining its core attributes of high performance and stability.
