Instructions for Oracle VM Manager on Linux for x86
When Oracle VM Manager is installed, it is set to automatically start when the operating system starts. If you want to disable this, enter:
# chkconfig ovmm off
To manually start or stop Oracle VM Manager, and to verify its status, log in as the root user, and use the syntax:
/sbin/service ovmm [start|stop|status|restart]
For example, to start Oracle VM Manager:
# /sbin/service ovmm start
To stop Oracle VM Manager, you must first stop the Oracle VM Manager Command Line Interface, then Oracle VM Manager:
# /sbin/service ovmm stop
To restart Oracle VM Manager:
# /sbin/service ovmm restart
To check the status of Oracle VM Manager:
# /sbin/service ovmm status
The status option returns whether the Oracle VM Manager
service is running or stopped.
If the Oracle VM Manager host computer runs a full graphical desktop environment, you can also use the Services dialog to start and stop the CLI. From the Applications menu, select System Settings > Server Settings > Services. Or by running the following command in a terminal to display the Services dialog:
# /usr/bin/system-config-services
In the Service Configuration dialog, select ovmm to check the status, and start or stop it.
Instructions for Oracle VM Manager on Solaris for SPARC
When Oracle VM Manager is installed, it runs as a service that can be managed using the standard Solaris Service Management Facility (SMF) tools. Therefore, to obtain a report on the status of the service, you can simply use the svcs tool:
# svcs ovmm
You can use the -l to print a more detailed
listing, including the full FMRI and restarter service paths.
Starting, stopping and restarting the service can be handled using
the svcadm command. This can either be done on
a temporary basis using the -t option, or can be
enforced permanently to set the start-up behavior of the service.
For example, to stop Oracle VM Manager from starting up on start-up, run the command:
# svcadm disable ovmm
To stop Oracle VM Manager from running temporarily:
# svcadm disable -t ovmm
To start Oracle VM Manager:
# svcadm enable ovmm
