You can stop and start vSphere Bitfusion to make a configuration change or perform debugging.
vSphere Bitfusion runs as a regular application on both
vSphere Bitfusion servers and clients. A
systemd service starts the
vSphere Bitfusion server software when the
vSphere Bitfusion server starts. To stop, start, and restart the
vSphere Bitfusion service or check the service log, you must access a
vSphere Bitfusion server by using command line. The
systemd file is in
/lib/systemd/system/bitfusion-manager.service.
Note: Typically, administrators and users do not interact with the
vSphere Bitfusion server from the CLI. The interaction must be performed by using the
vSphere Bitfusion Plug-in.
Procedure
- Open a terminal application and run
ssh customer@ip_address
.
You can obtain the
vSphere Bitfusion server IP address from the
vSphere Bitfusion Plug-in.
- Enter the customer password that you specified during the deployment of the vSphere Bitfusion open virtual appliance (OVA).
- Start, stop, or monitor the vSphere Bitfusion service.
You can use the alias
bitfusion for
bitfusion-manager.service.
