B Starting, stopping, and restarting host agent services
This section describes the procedures to start, stop, or restart Windows, UNIX, and OpenVMS
Integrity Server (IA–64) host agent and real-time services:
IMPORTANT:
• When a Windows host agent service is started, stopped, or restarted using the
Start+Programs+HP Storage Works+HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor Host Agent menu,
the real-time service is also automatically started, stopped, or restarted. However, if you start,
stop, or restart the Windows host agent service from the Services dialog box (using
services.msc), you have to manually perform these actions on the real-time service also.
• To start, stop, or restart the Windows host agent from the Services dialog box, click Start+Run,
type services.msc, and press the Enter key. In the Services dialog box, right-click the HP
XP P9000 Performance Advisor Hostagent service and accordingly select Start, Stop, or Restart
from the drop-down list that appears. Similarly, for the real-time service, right-click the HP XP
P9000 Performance Advisor Realtime Server service and select the appropriate options from
the drop-down list that appears.
