Managing Source Services
- Thomas Farley (Deactivated)
You can list installed services on the source machine and copy services from this list to the destination machine before you dock a container.
The Remote Registry service must be started on the source machine to allow remote users to modify registry settings on the computer and get source services.
Services that have already been added to a container appear gray in the Source Services list of the Tether tab.
If a user account corresponding to the login credentials of a selected service is bundled with a container, information from the account bundle associated with the service user as well as the user password will be imported automatically when the appliance is docked. If the user doesn’t currently exist on the underlying operating system, the user will be created using the password displayed in the Services tab.
To Manage Source Services
Select the container for which you enabled Tether, and then click the Tether tab.
Run an Audit of the source and destination machine by clicking the Run Audit button. If credentials fail or pre-requisites have not been met for tethering, an error message is displayed at the bottom of the Administrative Console window. To scroll through messages, click the Back or Forward button on the left or right of the message bar. You can view the Audit Report by going to the Appliance Logs tab to determine what the problem is.
Click the Find Applications button. A list of services on the source machine is displayed in the Source Services tab.
Select or de-select a service or services in the Source Services list, and then click Save to copy the configuration of the selected services from the source machine to the destination machine. The selected services now appear on the Services tab for the container or are removed from the Services tab.
Click the Services tab.
In the User Name field, enter the name of the user that the service requires to run properly.
In the Password field, enter the password of the user you entered in step 5, and then click Save. Note that VirtaMove does not validate the password you enter against the original password on the source machine.
Click Save. Any new services are exported to the container. You can now dock and run the container.
