Before you start the Controller HA upgrade from a pre-Enterprise Console deployment, you must first shut down the watchdog and assassin processes. This is only required if you have installed the HA Toolkit previously.

To shut down the HA Toolkit implementation:

• If the Controller services are installed with privilege escalation using setups option (-c option in install-init.sh) then running the following command on the secondary will stop the secondary appserver, watchdog, and assassin.

  /sbin/appdservice appdcontroller stop

  or

• If the Controller services are installed with privilege escalation using sudoers option (-s option in install-init.sh) then running the following command on the secondary will stop the secondary appserver, watchdog, and assassin.

  sudo /sbin/service appdcontroller stop

To check if the appserver, watchdog, and assassin stopped on the secondary, you can use the following commands based on the privilege escalation method used to install the Controller services:

/sbin/appdservice appdcontroller status

or

sudo /sbin/service appdcontroller status

For both stopping and checking the statuses, if you do not remember the privilege escalation method used to install services, then you can use both variants, one after the other, in any order.
