This section explains the procedure for stopping both the active and standby nodes simultaneously to perform maintenance.
Use the following procedure to stop both nodes for maintenance:
Stopping both nodes for maintenance using MSFC
Stopping both nodes for maintenance using MSCS
Stopping both nodes for maintenance using MSFC
Select the standby node in the console tree of the failover cluster management tool, and in the menu click [More Actions] >> [Stop Cluster Service].
The Symfoware Server service on the active node will also be stopped, but if the cluster service is stopped, the disk cannot be brought online. For example, use the following procedure if the task requires access to the disk, such as disk maintenance and database recovery:
If using the Windows Server(R) 2008 or Windows Server(R) 2008 R2 failover cluster management tool, go to the console tree and click all [Service or Application] that include a disk where Symfoware Server resources are located, and then in the menu click [Take this service or application offline].
If using the Windows Server(R) 2012 or Windows Server(R) 2012 R2 failover cluster management tool, go to the console tree and click [Roles]. Then click all [Service or Application] that include a disk where the Symfoware Server resources of the failover cluster management tool are located, and then in the menu click [Stop Role].
If using the Windows Server(R) 2008 or Windows Server(R) 2008 R2 failover cluster management tool and performing a task that requires access to the disk, go to the list of storage areas and select the disk that must be accessed, and then in the menu click [Bring this resource online].
If using the Windows Server(R) 2012 or Windows Server(R) 2012 R2 failover cluster management tool and performing a task that requires access to the disk, go to the list of storage areas and select the disk that must be accessed, and then in the menu click [Bring Online].
Stopping both nodes for maintenance using MSCS
Select the standby node in the console tree of [Cluster Administrator] and click [File] >> [Stop Cluster Service].
The Symfoware Server service on the active node will also be stopped, but if the cluster service is stopped, the disk cannot be brought online. For example, use the following procedure if the task requires access to the disk, such as disk maintenance and database recovery:
Go to the console tree of [Cluster Administrator] and right-click all [Group] that use a disk where Symfoware Server resources are located, and then click [Take Offline].
If performing a task that requires access to the disk, right-click the disk and click [Online].
Perform maintenance tasks to recover the database or maintain hardware shared by the active node and standby node, such as a disk, or hardware related to resources registered in a cluster service.
Use the following procedure to disable stoppage of both nodes:
Disabling stoppage of both nodes for maintenance using MSFC
Disabling stoppage of both nodes for maintenance using MSCS
Disabling stoppage of both nodes for maintenance using MSFC
If using the Windows Server(R) 2008 or Windows Server(R) 2008 R2 failover cluster management tool, go to the console tree and click [Service or Application], and then in the menu click [Bring this service or application online].
If using the Windows Server(R) 2012 or Windows Server(R) 2012 R2 failover cluster management tool, go to the console tree and click [Roles] >> all [Service or Application] which were stopped for maintenance tasks, and then in the menu click [Start Role].
Select the standby node in the console tree of the failover cluster management tool, and in the menu click [More Actions] >> [Start Cluster Service].
Disabling stoppage of both nodes for maintenance using MSCS
Go to the console tree of [Cluster Administrator] and right-click [Groups], and click [Bring Online].
Select the standby node in the console tree of [Cluster Administrator] and click [File] >> [Start Cluster Service].
