You can stop the vpms service if you need to perform maintenance procedures on the server machine.
Procedure
Log on to Linux on the Primary or Auxiliary EPM server.
If you are an Avaya Services representative, and use Avaya Enterprise Linux, or if the Avaya Service accounts are installed on this server, log on to the local Linux console as root.
Otherwise, log on remotely as a non-root user, and then change the user to root by entering the su - root command.
Stop the vpms service by entering the systemctl stop vpms command.
Next Steps
After you finish performing the maintenance procedures, restart the vpms service by entering the /sbin/ service vpms start command.
