Starting or restarting a satellite

To start a Satellite, issue the following command:

/etc/init.d/opsware-sas start opswgw

To restart a Satellite, issue the following command:

/etc/init.d/opsware-sas restart opswgw

If the Satellite Agent fails to restart (typically due to an NFS error blocking the availability of port 1002, which is required for Satellite Agent communication), restart the Satellite host or temporarily disable the service that is blocking 1002, restart the agent, then restart the blocking service.
