Using the Memory Machine Dashboard
You can view system resources and performance metrics, and create and restore snapshots in MemVerge Memory Machine using the Memory Machine Dashboard, a web UI application running on one of the installed hosts.
Managing Applications
You can view and stop application instances from the Applications Console. Application instances must be started using the command line.
Creating an Application Instance
Run a new application, or a new instance of an existing application, from the command line.

Overview and Installation
Getting started with MemVerge Memory Machine requries that you understand some background information about how persistent memory works. You can then install Memory Machine on a server and begin monitoring memory usage and capturing application snapshots.

- Getting Familiar with the Memory Machine Dashboard
  Memory Machine Dashboard is a web-based user interface (UI) from which an administrator can view memory and processor statistics and capture and restore application snapshots on any number of servers under management by a Memory Machine instance.
- Managing Applications
  You can view and stop application instances from the Applications Console. Application instances must be started using the command line.
  - Creating an Application Instance
    Run a new application, or a new instance of an existing application, from the command line.
  - Stopping an Instance
    Use the All Actions Dropdown in the Applications Console to stop an application instance.
  - Removing an Instance
    Remove an instance from Memory Machine Dashboard by stopping the running process tree and deleting all snapshots.
  - Removing an Application
    Remove an application from Memory Machine Dashboard by removing all instances of the application.
  - Cloning an Instance with Memory Machine Dashboard
    To clone a running instance of an application, use the All Actions Dropdown in the Applications Console.
- Using Snapshots in Memory Machine Dashboard
  Use ZeroIO Snapshot from Memory Machine Dashboard to capture the state of a running process, then later restore the running process to the state captured in the snapshot, all from a graphical web interface.
- Viewing Metrics and System Status
  The Memory Machine Dashboard makes it easy to view and compare running processes, snapshots, system resources and performance metrics.
Using the Command Line Interface
You can administer and use MemVerge Memory Machine using the Command Line Interface (CLI) on any installed host.
Working with Applications
MemVerge provides additional instructions for some popular applications supported by Memory Machine, either to assist with complex setup or to support additional functionality.

Creating an Application Instance

Run a new application, or a new instance of an existing application, from the command line.

About this task

You cannot start an application using Memory Machine Dashboard. Instead, use the mm command on the Memory Machine command line. See Running an Application in Memory Machine.

Results

The new instance is viewable and can be managed on the Memory Machine Dashboard. For example:

The instance is shown in the Instance Table when the instance's application name is selected in the Applications Console.
The memory consumed by the new instance is accounted for in the Host Overview Console.
You can capture snapshots of the instance. (Advanced Edition only.)
