Learn how to start the StorageGRID host service.

To start the StorageGRID nodes and ensure that they restart after a host reboot, you must enable and start the StorageGRID host service.

To start the StorageGRID host service, complete the following steps.

Steps

Run the following commands on each host:
```
sudo systemctl enable storagegrid
sudo systemctl start storagegrid
```
The start process might take some time on the initial run.
Run the following command to ensure the deployment is proceeding:
```
sudo storagegrid node status node-name
```

For any node that returns a status of Not-Running or Stopped, run the following command:

sudo storagegrid node start node-name

For example, given the following output you would start the dc1-adm1 node:

[user@host1]# sudo storagegrid node status
Name Config-State Run-State
dc1-adm1 Configured Not-Running
dc1-sn1 Configured Running

If you have previously enabled and started the StorageGRID host service (or if you aren’t sure whether the service has been enabled and started), also run the following command:
```
sudo systemctl reload-or-restart storagegrid
```
