  3. (Conditional) If the new Monitor Agent cluster resource shows Offline in the State column, click the new Monitor Agent cluster resource, then click Online.

    After a moment, the Monitor Agent cluster resource displays Running in the State column.

  4. At the server where the Monitor Agent is starting, use the following command to see that the Monitor Agent has started:

  5. Select the new Monitor Agent cluster resource, then click Offline.

    The State column for the Monitor Agent cluster resource displays Offline.

  6. Use the same command that you used in Step 4 to verify that the Monitor Agent has stopped.
