### cl_pnmd

- Public Network Management (PNM) service daemon

### Synopsis

    /usr/cluster/bin/cl_pnmd [-d [-t [tracefile]]]

## Description

`cl_pnmd` is a server daemon for the Public Network Management (PNM) module. It is usually started up at system boot time. When it is started, it starts the PNM service.

The `in.mpathd`(1M) daemon does adapter testing and intra-node failover for all IP Network Multipathing (IPMP) groups in the local host.

`cl_pnmd` keeps track of the local host's IPMP state and facilitates inter-node failover for all IPMP groups.

## Options

The following options are supported:

`-d`

  Displays debug messages on `stderr`.

`-t` tracefile

  When used with the `-d` option, it causes all debug messages to be redirected to tracefile. If tracefile. is omitted, `/var/cluster/run/cl_pnmd.log` is used.

## Diagnostics

`cl_pnmd` is a daemon and has no direct `stdin`, `stdout`, or `stderr` connection to the outside. All diagnostic messages are logged through `syslog`(3C).

## Notes

`cl_pnmd` must be run in superuser mode.

Due to the volume of debug messages generated, do not use the `-t` option for an extended period of time.

`cl_pnmd` is started by the `pnm` startup script. The Service Management Facility starts and stops the daemon.

The `SIGTERM` signal can be used to kill `cl_pnmd` gracefully. Other signals should not be used to kill the daemon.
