NAME

       sm, sm.bak, state - Status monitor directories and file structures

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/sm, /etc/sm.bak, /etc/state

DESCRIPTION

       The  directories /etc/sm and /etc/sm.bak are generated by the rpc.statd daemon.	Each entry in /etc/sm represents the name of the system to
       be monitored by the status monitor.  Upon its recovery, the status monitor moves all entries from the /etc/sm directory to the  /etc/sm.bak
       directory and notifies the corresponding statd of its recovery.

       The  /etc/state	file  is generated by the rpc.statd daemon to record its version number; that is, the number of times the rpc.statd daemon
       was invoked.  The version number is incremented each time the system crashes or recovers.  The system sends this  state	number	to  status
       monitors on remote systems when it notifies them of a crash or recovery.

NAME

       rpc.statd, statd - Network status monitor daemon

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/rpc.statd [-c]

OPTIONS

       Available only on TruCluster Server systems. This option starts the clusterwide network status daemon, which helps provide highly available
       NFS service. Do not use -c directly. Highly available NFS service is configured by default and typically does not require intervention.	If
       you do need to start the clusterwide network status daemon, use the CAA command, caa_start cluster_lockd.

	      For more information, see the TruCluster Server Administration manual.

DESCRIPTION

       The  rpc.statd daemon monitors the status of the client and server sites in response to a request made by the local rpc.lockd daemon.  When
       a site failure is detected, the rpc.statd daemon notifies the local rpc.lockd daemon, which then processes the recovery of the locked files
       or file regions.

RESTRICTIONS

       The crash of a site is only detected on its recovery.

FILES

       A directory created by the statd daemon.  Each file name in the directory is the host name of a client or server that the statd daemon will
       notify upon its recovery.  A backup directory created by the statd daemon.  A file created by the statd daemon to store its state number.
