    Starting Up the Primo Servers

    This information is not applicable to Primo VE environments. For more details on Primo VE configuration, see Primo VE.
    This procedure describes the steps used to start up Primo for single and multiple server topologies.
    The order in which the servers are started up is important and should be applied to single server topologies as well.
    To start up the Primo servers:
    1. Start up the Back Office (BO) servers:
      1. Enter the following command to start up the BO:
        be_start
      2. Repeat these steps for each BO in your Primo topology.
    2. Start up the Front End (FE) servers, starting with the primary FE:
      1. Enter the following command to start up the FE:
        fe_start
      2. Repeat these steps for each FE in your Primo topology.
    3. Start up the Search Engine (SE) servers:
      1. Enter the following command to start up the SE:
        se_start
      2. Repeat these steps for each SE in your Primo topology.
        The FE servers must be up and running before you start the SEs.
    4. Enter the following command to start the Primo Apache server:
      start_apache
      If you are receiving Primo requests on HTTP port 80, log in as the root user and enter the following commands to start the Apache server:
      apcb
      ./apachectl_auto
