Start servers from iSeries Navigator

Configure a server to start when TCP/IP starts

To configure a server to start when TCP/IP starts, follow these steps:

1. In iSeries Navigator, expand your iSeries server > Network.
2. Right-click TCP/IP Configuration and select Properties.
3. On the Servers to Start page, select the servers you want to automatically start when TCP/IP starts.

Start a server manually

To manually start a server, follow these steps:

1. In iSeries Navigator, expand your iSeries server > Network > Servers.
2. Click TCP/IP, iSeries Access, DNS, or User-Defined, depending on the type of server you want to start.
3. In the right pane, right-click the server you want to start, and select Start.

Some servers cannot be started from iSeries Navigator. Servers that are required to run iSeries Navigator, such as the remote command server, signon server, server mapper, and database server, must be started from the character-based interface.
