16.4.1 Prerequisites for using the PFM service automatic restart functionality
You must install version 09-00 or later of PFM - Base or PFM - Manager on the host and enable the status management function. For PFM-RM, any version of the program can be used. To restart PFM - Agent services, the PFM - Agent version must be 08-00 or later. Even if other versions of PFM - Agent are installed on the host, the PFM service automatic restart functionality can automatically restart the PFM - Agent services and the Action Handler service that match the criteria. The following table describes possible product combinations on the same host and support for automatic service restart for each PFM service.

The only PFM services that the PFM service automatic restart functionality can restart are the ones running on physical hosts. The functionality cannot restart the Status Server service. When Performance Management is used in a cluster system, use cluster software to control the PFM services running on logical hosts. The PFM service automatic restart functionality does not restart the services running on logical hosts.
