The Resource Coordinator VE Manager starts automatically on the Admin Server.
This section explains how to manually start or stop the Manager and how to check its running state.
The Manager is made up of the following two groups of Windows services:
Manager services
Resource Coordinator Manager
Resource Coordinator Task Manager
Resource Coordinator Web Server(Apache)
Resource Coordinator Sub Web Server(Mongrel)
Resource Coordinator Sub Web Server(Mongrel2)
SystemWalker MpWksttr
Deployment services
Deployment Service
TFTP Service
PXE Services
The state of these services can be checked from the Windows Control Panel. Open "Administrative Tools", and then open the [Services] window.
Services should be stopped started and stopped from the rcxadm mgrctl command (start and stop subcommands), as this command collectively controls both Manager and deployment services.
Refer to "5.6 rcxadm mgrctl" of the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Command Reference" for details on these commands.
To start or stop a Manager in a clustered configuration, right-click the Manager application shown under the Failover Cluster Management tree, and select either [Bring this service or application online] or [Take this service or application offline].
Note
The "Systemwalker MpWksttr" service is shared between the following products:
Systemwalker Centric Manager
ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser
Since the Systemwalker MpWksttr service is shared, the rcxadm mgrctl command has the following effect:
start: Starts this service only when the service is not running.
stop: Leaves the service running.
Use the following procedures to stop the Systemwalker MpWksttr service:
Stop the other Manager services using the stop subcommand with the rcxadm mgrctl command.
If there are other products installed on the Admin Server that share the Systemwalker MpWksttr service, stop the services associated with these products.
From the Windows Control Panel, open "Administrative Tools", open the [Services] window, and stop the Systemwalker MpWksttr service.
Resource Coordinator VE cannot operate if any of the Manager services are stopped. Ensure that all services are running when Resource Coordinator VE is running.
If communication with the Admin LAN is not established when the Manager is started due to any number of reasons, such as the cable being disconnected, then the PXE Services may not automatically start. If PXE Services are stopped, investigate the network interface of the Admin LAN to determine if it is actually possible to communicate with the external source. If communication is not possible, restore the connection from the Manager to the Admin LAN, and then restart the Manager using the procedure listed above.
