Starting a stand-alone catalog service that uses the IBM eXtremeIO (XIO) transport

You must start the catalog service manually when you are using a distributed WebSphere® eXtreme Scale environment that is not running in WebSphere Application Server.

Before you begin

About this task

Start the catalog service with the startXsServer script. When you call the start command, use the startXsServer.sh script on UNIX platforms or startXsServer.bat on Windows.

The catalog service can run in a single process or can include multiple catalog servers to form a catalog service domain. A catalog service domain is required in a production environment for high availability. For more information, see High availability catalog service. You can also specify additional parameters to the script to bind the transport to a specific host and port, specify the domain, or enable security.
