Starting and stopping Docker and Podman container secondary servers

Docker and Podman container secondary servers do not start and stop automatically when the computer they are installed on restarts or when you run the startaiw or stopaiw commands. You must start and stop them separately.

To start or stop a Docker and Podman container secondary servers, run the appropriate command below.

  • If you created the container secondary server on the primary computer, run the command on the primary computer.

    Replace directory with: /aiw

    The path_to_script is not required on the primary server.

  • If you created the container secondary server on a different computer, run the command from the secondary computer.

    On a secondary computer, you must provide the full path to the script on the primary computer, including the directory that is mounted to the /aiw directory on the primary server. In the command below, replace these values:

    • path_to_script

      The full path to the script on the primary server, including the mounted directory. If the mounted directory is /aiw (as in the procedure above), the value is: /aiw/aiw1/bin/

    • directory

      The full path to the directory that is mounted to the /aiw directory on the primary server. In the procedure above, this directory is also /aiw.

  • To start a specific container secondary server, replace [secondary_name] with the name of that server. Omit this value to start all of the container secondary servers present on the Linux computer.

  • Start Docker or Podman container secondary servers on a computer:
    [path_to_script]containers.pl start directory[secondary_name]
  • Stop Docker or Podman container secondary servers on a computer:
    [path_to_script]containers.pl stop directory[secondary_name]
