Almost all Parallels Power Panel pages, except for those containing an error report, allow you to check for any Container operations currently under way. The Active Tasks window can be accessed by pressing the icon at the right end of the title bar of a Parallels Power Panel page. Note that the icons vary according to the interface skin selected. If you are planning to perform any operation on your Container, it is a good idea to check the Active Tasks window and wait for the tasks to complete, if there are any. The window is refreshed every few seconds.
By default, 20 operations are listed, but you may have more operations displayed by pressing the appropriate link on top of the table. You may also have the Active Tasks table display only those operations that have a particular status. On top of the table, press the Show Search link to display the field where you can specify the status of the operation you wish to view the information on; then click on the Search link.
The information on the active tasks is presented as a table with the following columns:
Column |
Description |
Started |
The date and time when the operation was started. |
Operation |
The name of the operation. |
Status |
Indicates the operation status. At present the only one possible is "In Progress", which means that the operation is under way. |
The Details link beside a task leads to the Task Details page, where you can view the details of the operation.
When the operation is successfully completed or fails, the table is closed, and the No active tasks at the moment
message appears.
