Restarting the vxesfsd process
To restart the Veritas NetBackup Extendable Storage File System Service (vxesfsd), the process must first be stopped.
Before stopping vxesfsd, make sure that no processes are using vxesfsd, including the current working directory of any user.
The NetBackup Deduplication Manager (spad) and the NetBackup Deduplication Engine (spoold) use vxesfsd, so they need to be stopped if either is running.
Before starting vxesfsd, make sure that no data exists in the mount point. If data exists in the mount point, vxesfsd fails to restart.
The following methods assume that no jobs are running.
Using the Activity Monitor to stop the processes specific to vxesfsd
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, click Activity Monitor.
- On the Daemons tab, select the spoold.
- On the Actions menu, select Stop Daemon.
- Stop spad.
- Stop vxesfsd.

To stop and start all processes, run the following command on the CloudCatalyst storage server:
/etc/init.d/NetBackup stop /etc/init.d/NetBackup start
