Service Commands
Run the following service commands on the Workload Balancing appliance. To do so, you must log in to the
Workload Balancing virtual appliance.
Logging in to the Workload Balancing Virtual Appliance
Before you can run any service commands or edit the wlb.conf file, you must log in to the Workload Balancing

accounts on the virtual appliance, log in using the root user account. You specified this account when you ran

optionally, use the Console tab in XenCenter to log in to the appliance.
