Check the status of the VMware Smart Assurance Manager

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

<BASEDIR>/smarts/bin/brcontrol

By default, this command returns a list of VMware Smart Assurance Managers registered with the broker and their current state. The list indicates whether an VMware Smart Assurance Manager’s state is RUNNING or DEAD. If the VMware Smart Assurance Manager is not running or included in the list, restart the VMware Smart Assurance Manager.
