Workflow: redundant NFM-P shutdown and restart
Description
The following is the sequence of high-level actions required to stop and start the redundant NFM-P system components in a graceful manner for maintenance purposes.
Stages
Align redundancy roles | |
1 |
If the primary main server and database are in separate data centers, perform How do I perform a main database switchover using the NFM-P client GUI? to align the primary components in the primary data center. |
Perform orderly shutdown of standby components | |
2 |
If the system includes an auxiliary database, stop the auxiliary database cluster in the standby data center, as described in How do I stop an auxiliary database cluster?. |
3 |
If the system includes one or more auxiliary servers, perform the following steps; see How do I stop an auxiliary server? for information.
|
4 |
Stop the standby main server, as described in How do I stop a main server?. |
5 |
Stop the standby main database.
|
Perform maintenance on standby components | |
6 |
Perform the required maintenance on the NFM-P components in the standby data center. |
Perform orderly startup of standby components | |
7 |
Start the standby main database.
|
8 |
Start the standby main server, as described in How do I start a main server?. |
9 |
If the system includes one or more auxiliary servers, perform the following steps; see How do I start an auxiliary server? for information.
|
10 |
If the system includes one or more auxiliary servers, perform the following steps; see How do I start an auxiliary server? for information.
|
11 |
If the system includes an auxiliary database, start the auxiliary database cluster in the standby data center, as described in How do I start an auxiliary database cluster?. |
Switch redundancy roles | |
12 |
Perform a server activity switch to change the standby main server role to primary, as described in How do I perform a server activity switch?. The standby main server assumes the primary role. |
13 |
If automatic database realignment is not enabled, perform a database switchover; perform How do I perform a main database switchover using the NFM-P client GUI? or How do I perform a main database switchover using a CLI script?. The standby main database assumes the primary role. |
Perform orderly shutdown of former primary components | |
14 |
If the system includes an auxiliary database, stop the auxiliary database cluster in the former primary data center, as described in How do I stop an auxiliary database cluster?. |
15 |
If the system includes one or more auxiliary servers, perform the following steps; see How do I stop an auxiliary server? for information.
|
16 |
Stop the former primary main server, as described in How do I stop a main server?. |
17 |
Stop the former primary main database.
|
Perform maintenance on former primary components | |
18 |
Perform the required maintenance on the NFM-P components in the former primary data center. |
Perform orderly startup of former primary components | |
19 |
Start the former primary main database.
|
20 |
Start the former primary main server, as described in How do I start a main server?. |
21 |
If the system includes one or more auxiliary servers, perform the following steps; see How do I start an auxiliary server? for information.
|
22 |
If the system includes one or more auxiliary servers, perform the following steps; see How do I start an auxiliary server? for information.
|
23 |
If the system includes an auxiliary database, start the auxiliary database cluster in the former primary data center, as described in How do I start an auxiliary database cluster?. |
Restore initial redundancy roles | |
24 |
If required, restore the initial redundancy roles so that the former primary main server and database again assume the primary roles.
|
25 |
If automatic database realignment is not enabled, perform a database switchover; perform How do I perform a main database switchover using the NFM-P client GUI? or How do I perform a main database switchover using a CLI script?. The former primary and standby main database roles are restored. |
