Restarting the vxesfsd process
To restart the Veritas NetBackup Extendable Storage File System Service (vxesfsd), the process must first be stopped.
Before stopping the vxesfsdcommand, verify that vxesfsd is not in use by any other process, 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 the vxesfsd command, verify 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 and stop spoold.
- Stop vxesfsd.
Using the Activity Monitor to start the processes specific to vxesfsd
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, click Activity Monitor.

- On the Actions menu, select Start Daemon.
- Start spoold.
- Start spad.
To stop and start the processes that are specific to vxesfsd (and to avoid stopping all NetBackup processes), run:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbsvcmon -terminate /usr/openv/pdde/pdconfigure/pdde stop /usr/openv/esfs/bin/vxesfsd stop
To start these processes:
To stop and start all processes, run the following command on the Cloud Catalyst storage server:
/etc/init.d/NetBackup stop /etc/init.d/NetBackup start
