Step-by-step procedures for starting and stopping SFRAC



Using the install script
(back to top)

The install script can be invoked using "-start" or "-stop" to bring VCS, SFCFS or SFRAC online or offline (Figure 1). The product name and version will vary, depending on which product is actually present.

Note: If all nodes are currently stopped, it is usually best to specify all nodes (not just one) with "-start" to ensure proper seeding.
 

Figure 1 - Using the install script to start or stop a product


Syntax:
/opt/VRTS/install/install -start | stop           (SF)
/opt/VRTS/install/installer -start | stop                           (InfoScale)

Example:
/opt/VRTS/install/installsfrac601 -stop rhel63-01 rhel63-02 
/opt/VRTS/install/installer -stop rhel81-01 rhel81-02 






Manually starting and stopping individual components
(back to top)

Warning: Manually starting and stopping SFCFS or SFRAC is not a trivial procedure and should be performed by an experienced administrator. Table 1 is provided as a reference, primarily for troubleshooting. A checkmark is displayed to indicate which ports are used by each product. For 

Note: On older installations, port q (quicklog) may be present. Refer to the documentation for these older versions (prior to 4.x) for information about stopping and starting quicklog.

-- Use haconf to save and
close the cluster 
configuration:

haconf -dump -makero

Note: If the
configuration is already 
closed, a "Cluster not
writeable" message will
be returned.
 		 Use hastatus or hasys to
confirm that the cluster
starts successfully:

hastatus -sum

hasys -state

switch causes had to
simply stop without
bringing any resources 
offline. Otherwise, it 
brings the cluster 
resources offline, 
including ports f, u, v,

CVM and CFS cluster
groups.		 hastart

online or offline when
their respective cluster
resources do.These
commands are not
usually run manually,
but are included here 
as a troubleshooting
reference.
