Managing the Storage Platform Web Service (SPWS)
The Storage Platform Web Service (SPWS) is a service for Instant Access and Universal Shares. Use the following procedures to manage the SPWS.
To view the status of the SPWS
- Open an SSH session to the server.
- Run the following command:
dedupe spws status
To stop or start the SPWS
- Open an SSH session to the server.
- Run one of the following commands:
dedupe SPWS stop
dedupe SPWS start
To view an SPWS configuration parameter
- Open an SSH session to the server.
- Run the following command:
setting spws-config get-spws-param spws_configkey=<parameter>
Where <parameter> is the parameter that you want to view.
To change an SPWS configuration parameter
- Open an SSH session to the server.
- Run the following command:
setting spws-config set-spws-param spws_configsection=<section> spws_configkey=<parameter> spws_configvalue=<value>
Where <section> is the Samba configuration section, <parameter> is the parameter that you want to change, and <value> is the value that you want to change it to. For example:
setting spws-config set-spws-param spws_configsection=Livemount spws_configkey=maxallowedusharebackupjobs spws_configvalue=5
If you experience persistent connection failures to the SPWS, use the following procedure to push the certificate from the SPWS to the primary NetBackup Web Service.
To push the certificate
- Open an SSH session to the server.
- Run the following command:
dedupe spws push-spws-certificate
Note:
In a cluster environment, you must run this command from the catalog engine. It cannot be run from the other engines.
