restartxcatd - Restart the xCAT daemon (xcatd).
restartxcatd [[-h|--help] | [-v|--version] | [-r|--reload]] [-V|--verbose]
The restartxcatd command restarts the xCAT daemon (xcatd).
Linux Specific:
It will perform the xcatd fast restart. The xcatd fast restart is a specific restart which has two advantages compares to the stop and then start.
It does the same thing as service xcatd restart on NON-systemd enabled Operating System like rh6.x and sles11.x. But for the systemd enabled Operating System like rh7 and sles12, the service xcatd restart will just do the stop and start instead of xcatd fast restart.
It's recommended to use restartxcatd command to restart xcatd on systemd enabled system like rh7 and sles12 instead of service xcatd restart or systemctl restart xcatd.
AIX Specific:
It runs stopsrc -s xcatd to stop xcatd first if xcatd is active, then runs startsrc -s xcatd to start xcatd.
If the xcatd subsystem was not created, restartxcatd will create it automatically.
