If a container contains services that the application depends on, you will need to dock the container and then start these services before running the container application.

Administrative Console displays the services that are inside a container. Services that are added to the container are stored in the cservices XML file in the container.

You can manage container services using:

• the Administrative Console

• the VirtaMove CLI

• Windows Services Control Manager

Restrictions on Container Services

You cannot dock a container with a service if a service with the same name exists on the underlying operating system; an error will occur. If there is a conflict, the Services tab will show "CONFLICT" in the service’s Status column and a warning will be displayed in red at the bottom of the Administrative Console window. You must resolve the conflict before you can dock the container.
