Start or Stop a Management Agent
Management Agents are a new feature available starting with SuperCluster version 2.4.
Management Agent software runs on each control domain and monitors the state of each I/O Domain. The Management Agent provides real-time notification of the state of each domain (Ready for Use, Stopping, Starting, and so on). To be able to start or stop and I/O Domain with the SuperCluster Virtual Assistant, you must have the Management Agent enabled for the Physical Host where that I/O Domain resides.
Tip - An I/O Domain might move in or out of the Solaris Open Boot Prompt, and the I/O Domain's state is subsequently not accurately reflected in the I/O Domains page. If this occurs, stop and restart the Management Agent for the physical host where that I/O Domain resides to re-sync the state of all I/O Domains on that host.
- Access the SuperCluster Virtual Assistant.
- In the navigation panel, select Management Agents.
