Check the status of the VMware Manager

Use the brcontrol command to check the status of the VMware Manager. The syntax is:

BASEDIR/smarts/bin/brcontrol
      

By default, this command returns a list of VMware Managers registered with the broker and their current state. The list indicates whether an VMware Manager’s state is RUNNING or DEAD.

If the VMware Manager is not running or included in the list, restart the VMware Manager.
