This chapter explains how to start and stop Resource Coordinator VE.
To use Resource Coordinator VE, first open the RC console or BladeViewer from an Admin Client. Refer to "5.3 RC Console" of the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide" for details on opening and closing the RC console. For details on opening and closing BladeViewer, refer to "3.2 Login and Logout".
To use Resource Coordinator VE, both the Manager and Agents must be running. The Manager and Agents services are configured to start automatically upon startup of their respective servers (Admin Server, managed server). Normally, there should be no need to manually start or stop either the Manager or Agents. To start or stop the manager or an agent intentionally, refer to "5.1 Manager" and "5.2 Agent" of the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide".
Note
When using the HBA address rename function, ensure that the Manager is started before starting any managed servers. The power on procedure should be managed as follows: first start the Admin Server together with the storage devices, and start the managed servers 10 minutes later.
Managed servers will not boot up properly if they are started before the Admin Server. Make sure that the Manager is running before starting managed servers.
Additionally, when using the HBA address rename function, the HBA address rename setup service should be started on a dedicated server (HBA address rename server) and left running continuously. For details on starting, stopping, and confirming the state of the HBA address rename setup service, refer to "6.2.2.1 Settings for the HBA address rename setup service" in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide".
