Managing Physical Machines

Manage a physical machine (PM), or node, to control its operation and perform maintenance.

You view and manage PMs using the Physical Machines page of ztC Edge Console; for information, see the Physical Machines Page.

Many of the tasks you perform from the Physical Machines page require maintenance mode; for information, see Maintenance Mode.

To manage the operational state of a PM (in maintenance mode), see:

• Rebooting a Physical Machine

• Shutting Down a Physical Machine

• Load Balancing

To power on a PM (at the physical console of the PM), see Powering On a Physical Machine.

To troubleshoot a PM by recovering a failed PM or resetting MTBF for a failed machine, see Troubleshooting Physical Machines.

To perform maintenance tasks on the PM hardware, such as replacing a PM, see Maintaining Physical Machines.

To monitor the host operating system of the ztC Edge system on systems licensed for such monitoring, see Monitoring the Host Operating System.
