Defining an Initial Configuration > Starting the SAE

Starting the SAE

Starting the SAE is the final step in the SDX software installation and basic configuration process. Before you configure and start the SAE, make sure that you have completed the following:

• Installed and configured the supporting software.
• Installed, configured, and started the directory
• (Optional) Installed, configured, and started RADIUS servers.
• Started the directory, RADIUS, and license servers.
• Configured local properties for the SAE. See Chapter 8, Configuring SAE Local Properties.

Starting the SAE the first time requires root permission and a special script to add the virtual IP address.

• To start the SAE from its host for the first time:

/opt/UMC/sae/etc/saeroot start

• To start the SAE from its host after the first time:

/opt/UMC/sae/etc/sae start

• To verify that the SAE is running:

/opt/UMC/sae/etc/sae status

• To stop the SAE:

/opt/UMC/sae/etc/sae stop

Whenever the host subsequently reboots, the installed SDX server components are restarted automatically. For more information about the SAE, see SDX Components Guide, Vol. 1.

By default, the SAE sends log events to the system log. You can also enable file loggers to write logs to text files. See SDX Components Guide, Vol. 1, Chapter 10, Configuring Logging for SDX Components, for more information.
