Bouncing the Primary Controller Without Triggering Failover

The Enterprise Console does not allow you to stop and start the primary Controller without initiating failover. To workaround this, you will need to perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to the Enterprise Console and navigate to the Appserver Configurations page by selecting Configurations, followed by the Controller Settings.
  2. Deselect Enable Auto Failover and click Save.
  3. SSH to the Controller machine where the Controller is installed.
  4. Run the following commands on the Enterprise Console host:This will bounce the primary Controller in HA mode.
    bin/platform-admin.sh stop-controller-appserver
    bin/platform-admin.sh start-controller-appserver
  5. Re-enable auto failover on the Enterprise Console Appserver Configurations page.
