6.4 Starting, Monitoring or Stopping a Remote Container Server

The following sections provide information about the available ways to start, stop or check status for a Remote Container server:

6.4.1 Automatically Starting, Stopping and Checking Status of Remote Containers with the Operations Center Daemon

Use the Automatically Start Servers setting in the Configuration Manager to configure the Remote Container to start, stop and display status when you issue commands to the Operations Center daemon. For instructions, see Step 4.

6.4.2 Starting, Monitoring, or Stopping a Remote Container Server from the Command Prompt

Use the same start, monitor status, and stop commands for the Remote Container that you do to administer the Operations Center server.

To start, monitor or stop a Remote Container server:

  1. Log in as the user formula (or any user with root privileges) and from the /OperationsCenter_install_path/bin directory, issue the appropriate command as outlined in Table 6-1.

6.4.3 Managing the Remote Container Server from the Operations Center Console

Use the right-click options on a remote container connection to start, stop, and monitor the associated Remote Container servers.

Container Server operations contact the daemon on the host and port specified for the container connection and determine if the Remote Container server named in the container connection definition(s) is registered with the daemon.

For instructions on creating connections to a Remote Container, see Section 6.5, Defining Remote Container Connections.

To start, stop and display status for a Remote Container server:

  1. In the Explorer pane, click Administration > Adapters > Containers.

  2. Right-click an associated connection, click Container Server and select one of the following:

    • Start Container Server

    • Stop Container Server

    • Status Container Server. If the Remote Container server is registered with the daemon, a status dialog box displays.

    • Check Container Server. Checks to see if the Remote Container server is running.

    • List Container Servers
