The default stasher package installs a systemd
service that starts a stasher daemon process for every node directory
in /var/stasher/nodes when the machine starts.
After adding the first node directory to
/var/stasher/nodes,
systemctl restart restarts the service, which starts
stasher in the newly-installed directory.
If not using the default stasher package, for some reason, the
stasher.sysinit script in the source tarball shows
the recommended steps for starting and stopping stasher:
stasher start directory
starts stasher in the specified node directory.
Only root, or the owner of the stasher node directory, can start
stasher in that node directory.
stasher --admin=directory --alarm=30 resign
followed by
stasher --admin=directory --alarm=10 stop
safely stops stasher.
A succesful stasher starts is confirmed by verifying that the node
is listed as an httportmap service
(“octopus.objrepo.example.com” in the above example), and by
connecting to the server, as in the shown example.
Open http://
in a browser, and verify that the service is listed.
hostname/portmap
The admin stasher command takes the pathname to the
cluster node directory as a parameter. If there's only one subdirectory
in the default stasher node directory
(/var/stasher/nodes or
/usr/local/var/stasher/nodes, depending on stasher's
configuration), the directory parameter may be omitted, as in this
example.
