Stopping active programs (UNIX)

To stop active VMware Smart Assurance programs (UNIX):

Stop active VMware Smart Assurance services using the sm_service utility from BASEDIR/smarts/bin:
```
               sm_service stop --all
            
```
Determine if any VMware Smart Assurance services are still running by using the brcontrol utility from BASEDIR/smarts/bin:
```
               brcontrol -b
               <host>:<port>
            
```

The Broker is on the . . .	And this displays . . .	Do this . . .
Same host	“Error attaching to Broker” message	The Broker is not running. Go to step 4.
Same host	List of servers registered with the Broker	The Broker or service daemon did not shut down. If any servers are still running on the host, these did not shut down. Go to step 3.
Different host	List of servers registered with the Broker	If any servers are still running on the host where you will install the VMware Smart Assurance software, these did not shut down. Go to step 3.

Stop any VMware Smart Assurance server that is still running. If the Broker is on the host, stop the local Broker:

To stop any server that is still running, use the dmquit utility from BASEDIR/smarts/bin:

                     dmquit --server=<server name>
                      -b 
                     <host>:<port>
                     brquit --broker=localhost:
                     <port>

Determine if any other VMware Smart Assurance processes are still running and shut the processes down:

Detect the processes using the following command:

                     ps -ef | grep “sm_”
                     kill
                     <pid>
