DXadmind Commands

DXadmind is a background process that runs on each host that contains a DSA. DXmanager uses DXadmind to communicate with the DSAs. The DXadmind on each host collects information for DXmanager and manages the DSAs on that host on behalf of DXmanager.

The CA Directory installation process installs dxadmind, so dxadmind is started each time the operating system starts up.

If you are having problems with DXmanager, you may need to monitor, start, or stop DXadmind.
