The hosting interface allows you to follow each operation you did on your VPS.
When a modification of your VPS occurs, the Gandi agent do the operations that you requested, then inform you on the status of the operation in this section of the hosting account.
The Gandi agent works as a daemon on port 842 of your VPS, he is listening to the requested operations sent by our system that should be done on the VPS.
As you validate a configuration from the control panel and you do not have the root rights in Gandi AI mode, the Gandi agent will make the necessary changes for you on the VPS, it configures the services as you requested on the control panel.
You may distinguish two types of operations, the resources add/release & the modules configuration.
The operations which are modifying the VPS power are related to the Xen hypervisor which is in charge of the allocation of the resources to each VPS in our datacenters for this virtualized platform.
Those operations can be done while the server runs, as most of them will not need a reboot, unless you are doing big changes as adding GB of RAM for example.
Note:
It is interesting to know that the Xen hypervisor makes possible the transfer of a VPS from a physical node to another one while running or not.The configuration of the modules are executed by Gandi agent directly on your VPS as they are installed on its disks.
You may see the operation in the control panel, the delay before it will be completed, etc.
With the blue arrow, you will be able to relaunch the operation which was failing before after correcting the error.
The red cross allows you to cancel the operation if the need is ne more present.
