Warm Start Exceptions

When integrated with CA Virtual Assurance, the SystemEDGE agent performs a warm start when receiving most deployed configuration changes. However, the agent is still fully recycled in any of the following situations:

• Manually through user commands. You can still start and stop the agent at any time using the command line or the SystemEDGE Control Panel on Windows.
• Implicitly if the agent receives a configuration file change that requires a restart. Removing an AIM or changing the sysedge_fips_mode parameter triggers a cold restart. The agent restarts automatically using a process that is triggered by these changes.

  Note: Upgrading CAM also triggers an automatic agent restart.

• Implicitly if CAM is manually stopped, because SystemEDGE registers as a CAM client. The agent does not automatically restart in this situation; you must manually start the agent after CAM is running again.
