Configuring Offline Management

Using the offline management functionality, you can connect to and manage virtual machines and Containers with the help of your favorite web browser. If offline management is enabled for a virtual machine or Container, you can access it via offline services configured for this virtual machine or Container. When you turn on an offline service, one of Container ports becomes always open no matter what state it has been in, and you can access the virtual machine or Container even if it is stopped.

This section provides the following information about offline management:

• offline management basics
• ways to enable and disable the offline management functionality
• ways to enable and disable offline services
• insight into offline management configuration files

Note: In the current version of Virtuozzo, offline management does not work for Containers operating in the bridged mode.
