Before creating and running your client applications, make sure that the Parallels Agent on your server is installed and running properly.
On Linux, the
vzagent_ctl
command line utility is used for starting, stopping, restarting, and getting the current status of Parallels Agent. The command is executed on the server where Agent is installed. The available options are:
vzagent_ctl start
vzagent_ctl stop
vzagent_ctl restart
vzagent_ctl status
In the following example, the vzagent_ctl status
command reports that Agent is functioning properly:
[root@dhcp0-190 ~]# vzagent_ctl status
vzagent (pid 31615 29644 25012 22861 8362 7073 7046 7036 7035 7029 7028 7026 7025 7023 7021 7019 7018 7017 7016 7013 7012 7011 7010 7009 7008 7007 7006 7004 7003 7002 7001 7000 6999 6998 6997 6996 6995 6994 6993 6992 6991 6990 6989 6988 6987 6986 6985 6984 6632) is running...
[root@dhcp0-190 ~]#
When Agent is stopped, the output of the same command will be as follows:
[root@dhcp0-190 ~]# vzagent_ctl status
vzagent is stopped
If something is wrong with Agent, the output may contain additional messages describing the problem. In such a case, try restarting the Agent service using the vzagent_ctl restart
command:
[root@dhcp0-190 ~]# vzagent_ctl restart
Shutting vzagent: [ OK ]
vzaproxy: no process killed
Stopping slapd: [ OK ]
Checking configuration files for slapd: [ OK ]
Starting slapd: [ OK ]
Starting vzagent: [ OK ]
[root@dhcp0-190 ~]#
On Windows, Agent runs as a Windows service. You can manipulate it by going to the Services console which is located in the Control Panel / Administrative Tools folder, and selecting the
VZAgent
service from the list.
