Introduction
All Performance Management Appliances (PMA) are based on a hardened versions on CentOS 7 64-bit Linux Operating System.
Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is used as virtualization platform.
Solution
Access to the appliance
 | We recommend using MobaXterm to access the appliance. Download MobaXterm at: http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/download.html |
PMA is accessible through ssh using your favorite terminal emulator. The appliance ships with two user accounts, Administrator and comcert. User Administrartor has been created to allow the end-user to safely shut down and reboot the appliance. User comcert is reserved for COMCERT support engineers. To connect to PMA from another terminal session, run the following command:
ssh -l Administrator <IPaddressPMA>
Shutdown and reboot the appliance
 | All applications and virtuals machines must be brought-down properly before shutting down or rebooting the appliance. Failure to do so may result in irreparable damage to the databases and loss of recorded data. |
Stage 1 - shutdown the application
Stage 2 - shutdown the virtual machine
Stage 3 - shutdown or reboot the appliance
For your convienience, two scripts are created that will take care of these three stages in the correct order. To execute a script, you must first connect to PMA and login as Administrator.
Once authenticated, run one of the following commands:
pma-reboot
pma-shutdown
It may take several minutes for the appliance to reboot or shutdown correctly.
