The Services for ACM run automatically but you can start and stop the services for ACM manually if it is required for any reason.

Note: To use the sm_service utility to start a service or install a service, you must have administrative privileges on the local host.

Services for Application Connectivity Monitor run automatically after your system restarts. If, for any reason, you need to start or stop a service manually, use the sm_service utility.

For example, to start a service for the ACM Domain Manager, issue the following with administrative privileges:

BASEDIR/smarts/bin/sm_service start ic-acm-server

To stop a service, specify the stop action instead of the start action.

Table Summary of VMware Smart Assurance service names summarizes service names that can be specified with the sm_service utility. The VMware Smart Assurance System Administration Guide includes additional information about services.
