IP Multicast Processes and Services

After you install the NNM iSPI for IP Multicast, start all the IP Multicast services and processes. The IP Multicast processes are:

Process Name Description
mcastjboss The process that controls the jboss Application Server that contains all of the Multicast services.
nmsdbmgr The Database Manager that controls the embedded database of NNMi and the IP Multicast.

The NNM iSPI for IP Multicast does not show the status of the Oracle database. There is no check done to verify if the Oracle database is running or not. If the Oracle database is configured, you must start the database.

To verify that all the Multicast processes and services are running, use any one of the following:

  • For basic information, at the command line, type ovstatus -c mcastjboss
  • For detailed information, at the command line, type ovstatus -v mcastjboss

To start the Multicast services and processes:

At the command line, type ovstart -c mcastjboss.

You can start all NNMi services at the same time. This command starts the Multicast processes and also checks whether the NNMi processes are running or not. If the NNMi processes are not running, manually start the NNMi and Multicast processes.

To stop the Multicast services:

At the command line, type ovstop -c mcastjboss. This command stops the Multicast processes and not the NNMi processes.
