EGO kernel daemon.
There is only one vemkd daemon in a cluster. It runs on the master host.
The vemkd daemon is started automatically by the lim daemon, and exits when lim exits.
Starts the daemon, reading from the EGO configuration file ego.conf in the specified directory, rather than from the directory set via the EGO_CONFDIR environment variable.
Starts the daemon in debug mode. When running in debug mode, the daemon runs in the foreground, displaying the log messages.
You can run an EGO client from any host to interact with vemkd, provided the client host has the environment set correctly with the EGO_CONFDIR environment variable pointing to the correct ego.conf file.
When the client has established a connection with vemkd, it can query general information about the cluster. To perform any control operations, the client needs to be logged on as an EGO user. You need to log on with at least consumer user access to request a resource from EGO, and with cluster administrator privileges to perform cluster-wide maintenance.
vemkd reads the configuration file ego.conf to retrieve the location of its configuration information. ego.conf is a generic configuration file shared by all daemons and clients. It contains configuration information and other information that dictates the behavior of the software.
