Special systemd configuration
Linux introdued systemd in the following version and is since then the standard used instead of the older init.d functionality
- CentOS 7+ RHEL 7+
- SLES 12+ or higher
etc/systemd/system/domino.service contains the configuration for the systemd service.
The following parameters should be reviewed and might need to be configured. Once you have configured the service you can enable and disable it with systemctl.
systemctl enable domino.service
systemctl disable domino.service
To check the status use systemctl status domino.service.
Description of parameters used in domino.service.
User=notes
This is the Linux user name that your partition runs with.
LimitNOFILE=80000
With systemd the security limit configuration is not used anymore and the limits are enforced by systemd. You should configure at least 80000 files. Files means file handles and also TCP/IP sockets!
LimitNPROC=8000
With systemd the security limit configuration is not used anymore and the limits are enforced by systemd. Even Domino uses pthreads you should ensure that you have sufficient processes configured because the limit does not specify the number of processes but the number of threads that the “notes” user is allowed to use!
TasksMax=8000
The version of systemd shipped in SLES 12 SP2 uses the PIDs cgroup controller. This provides some per-service fork() bomb protection, leading to a safer system. It controls the number of threads/processes a user can use. To control the default TasksMax= setting for services and scopes running on the system, use the system.conf setting DefaultTasksMax=.
This setting defaults to 512, which means services that are not explicitly configured otherwise will only be able to create 512 processes or threads at maximum. The domino.service sets this value for the service to 8000 explicitly. But you could also change the system wide setting. CentOS / RHEL versions also support TaskMax and the setting is required as well.
Note: If you are running an older version TaskMax might not be supported and you have to remove the line from the domino.service
#Environment=LANG=en_US.UTF-8
#Environment=LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
You can specify environment variables in the systemd service file. Depending on your configuration you might want to set the LANG variable to define your locale. But in normal cases it should be fine to set it in the profile.
PIDFile=/local/notesdata/domino.pid
This PIDFile has to match the configured DOMINO_PID_FILE ins the start script. By default the name is “domino.pid” in your data directory. You can change the location if you set the configuration variable “DOMINO_PID_FILE” to override the default configuration if really needed.
ExecStart=/opt/nashcom/startscript/rc_domino_script start
ExecStop=/opt/nashcom/startscript/rc_domino_script stop
Those two lines need to match the location of the main domino script including the start/stop command parameter.
TimeoutSec=100
Time-out value for starting the service
TimeoutStopSec=300
Time-out value for stopping the service
