Service object computers and computer objects

You can control services that are running on specific computers in specific systems by viewing the Network Management Console (NMC) Service Object Computers folder.

When you startup or shutdown a service from this folder, you only startup or shutdown the service on the specified computer. For example, the computer RTDTPUB1 is highlighted under the Engineering Station (ES) > Services > Historical > Computers in the figure below. If you were to shutdown RTDTPUB1 from this location, you would only shutdown the Historical service for RTDTPUB1.

This view also shows a list of all the computers that are running for that specific service. In the example shown in the figure below, the RTDTPUB1 is running on the Historical service on the ES system.

Note: If the Historical service fails to come back up after a network failure, reboot the Historical box.
