Guarded Instance
- Server instances can be treated as guarded or unguarded.
- Instances are guarded by default.
- An instance can be designated as nonguarded by including the
nonguarded option in the configuration file.
- When Instance Manager starts, it starts each guarded instance.
- If the instance crashes, Instance Manager detects this and restarts it.
- When Instance Manager stops, it stops the instance.
- A nonguarded instance is not started when Instance Manager starts or monitored by it.
- If the instance crashes after being started, Instance Manager does not restart it.
- When Instance Manager exits, it does not stop the instance if it is running.
How is Instance Manager password management handled?
