Hi,
Looks like the ability to run /opt/emc/dpa/services/bin/dpa agt start|stop|restart must have been introduced in a later version (probably 6.1.0).
Try run the following command: "/opt/emc/dpa/agent/etc/dpa status". If that works you can run the same command but with stop | start | restart instead of status.
Regards,
Gareth

Hi.
With DPA 6 the default path on Linux is /opt/emc/dpa/agent/etc and in that directory you run "dpa start | stop | status".
From what I recall, with some of the later DPA 6 releases (possibly 6.1.0) you can also control the agent via the server binary. So in that case you would run /opt/emc/dpa/services/bin/dpa.sh agent start | stop | status | restart.
Regards,
Gareth

Thanks Gareth, but when I run the command (either of the above) I get

The other option is to get to /opt/emc/dpa/agent/etc and then run "./dpa start"
