Using the Memory Machine Management Center
Memory Machine Management Center (M3C) is a web UI application available on the host that is running the Memory Machine Management Service. You can view system resources and performance metrics; create and restore snapshots; schedule jobs; and more in M3C.
Using Snapshots in Memory Machine Management Center
Use ZeroIO Snapshot from Memory Machine Management Center to capture the state of a running process. You can then stop the process and restore it to the running state captured in the snapshot.
Viewing Snapshots
View snapshots graphically, in a tree structure, or as a sortable list in the Snapshot Display Panel.

Overview and Installation
Getting started with MemVerge Memory Machine requires 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.
Using the Memory Machine Management Center
Memory Machine Management Center (M3C) is a web UI application available on the host that is running the Memory Machine Management Service. You can view system resources and performance metrics; create and restore snapshots; schedule jobs; and more in M3C.
- Getting Familiar with the Memory Machine Management Center
  Memory Machine Management Center (M3C) 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 Memory Machine.
- Managing Hosts
  Use the Hosts Console to manage hosts and to view statistics about application instances, memory performance, and snapshots on individual hosts and host groups.
- Managing Applications
  You can view application instances from the Applications Console. Application instances must be started and stopped using the command line.
- Using Snapshots in Memory Machine Management Center
  Use ZeroIO Snapshot from Memory Machine Management Center to capture the state of a running process. You can then stop the process and restore it to the running state captured in the snapshot.
  - Using Snapshots in Memory Machine
    Capturing a snapshot is almost instantaneous, requiring only that a small amount of metadata be saved to a storage device.
  - Cloning a Snapshot with Memory Machine Management Center
    To clone a snapshot of an application, use the All Actions Dropdown in the Applications Console.
  - Exporting and Importing Snapshots
    You can export snapshots from Memory Machine to an unmanaged file system, then later restore the snapshot to the same or a different host.
  - Replicating a Snapshot
    Click a snapshot in the Applications Console to replicate a snapshot to a different host.
  - Viewing Snapshots
    View snapshots graphically, in a tree structure, or as a sortable list in the Snapshot Display Panel.
    - Viewing Snapshot Lineage
      Capturing and restoring snapshots of an application instance can create a complex tree of snapshots with multiple branches. You can view this tree in the Snapshot Display Panel.
    - Snapshot Statuses
      A snapshot has four possible values with respect to its persistence status: Incomplete, Created, Persisted and Error.
- Viewing Metrics and System Status
  The Memory Machine Management Center 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.

Viewing Snapshots

View snapshots graphically, in a tree structure, or as a sortable list in the Snapshot Display Panel.

About this task

You can create up to 256 snapshots per application instance. You can view these snapshots in the Snapshot Display Panel in a tree view or in a list view.

Procedure

On the Applications Console, choose the instance for which you want to view the snapshots. See Viewing Application and Instance Memory Usage.
In the Instance Detail Display, choose between the Snapshot Timeline and the Snapshot List using the View Selector Buttons.
- The Snapshot Timeline shows the time history of all snapshots of the instance on the server. See Viewing Snapshot Lineage.
- The Snapshot List shows the same snapshots in a list sortable by name, image size, persistent memory used, or capture timestamp.
Optional: Select a snapshot from the Snapshot Timeline to open the Snapshot Information Dialog with actions available to restore, export or delete the snapshot. These actions are also available in the Snapshot List view.
