HP VAN SDN Controller Administrator Guide v3

The Application Manager supports default and add-on network services, and enables installing,
upgrading, enabling (starting), disabling (stopping), and uninstalling managed applications. The
default application set includes:
• Path Diagnostics
• Link Manager
• Node Manager
• Path Daemon
• Topology Manager
• Topology Viewer
NOTE: If you stop the controller, then later restart it, all enabled (active) applications will also
be restarted. The controller does not restart applications that were in a disabled state when the
controller was stopped.
2.3.1 Using the Application Manager
NOTE: Most of the Application Manager actions can also be performed using the REST API.
2.3.1.1 Adding an application or upgrading and activating an application
This procedure uploads a new application or a new version of an existing application to the
controller and places the application in an active state. Any application in the proper format can
be added to the controller. For the requirements to which an application must conform, see
Application requirements .
NOTE: To load an application into a controller team environment, upload, deploy, and start the
application zip file on any team member. The team member propagates the application to all other
active controllers in the team.
