This chapter explains how to start and stop the Resource Coordinator VE manager and agent services, how to check their running state, and how to open and close the RC console.
Managers and agents start automatically when their respective servers are powered on. Normally no special operation is required to start them.
Note
When using the HBA address rename function, ensure that the manager is started before powering on any managed servers. The power on procedure should be managed as follows: start the admin server together with storage devices, and then start managed servers 10 minutes later.
Managed servers will not boot up properly if they are started before the manager. Make sure that the manager is running before turning on the managed servers.
Additionally, when using the HBA address rename function, the HBA address rename setup service should be started on a server and left running all the time. For details on starting, stopping and checking the state of the HBA address rename setup service, refer to "6.2.2.1 Settings for the HBA address rename setup service".
