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

 

 

The appliance 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 or reboot the appliance

 

 

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.
