  • What’s the right way to stop/ start cluster:

    Posted on

    As per RH, we can bring down cluster services in reverse order BUT service group might failover to 2nd node which I think can be stop by freezing cluster (please correct me if I am wrong)

     

    1. service rgmanager stop
      , if you using high-availability (HA) services (
      rgmanager
      ).
    2. service gfs2 stop
      , if you are using Red Hat GFS2
    3. umount -at gfs2
      , if you are using Red Hat GFS2 in conjunction with
      rgmanager
      , to ensure that any GFS2 files mounted during
      rgmanager
      startup (but not unmounted during shutdown) were also unmounted.
    4. service clvmd stop
      , if CLVM has been used to create clustered volumes
    5. service cman stop

    OR can I simply stop by running “clusvcadm -s servicegroup” on both nodes (A&B) & restarts with “clusvcadm -e servicegroup -m nodename”.

     Appreciate if anyone share their experience or best practice. 

    Thanks
