Shutdown sequence for three tier NFA.
We have 3 NFA servers (one console, one DSA, one harvester, for NetFlow, could you send me the detailed instruction for these 3 servers to be shut down properly and physically moved to another data center? The same IP will be kept.
These are the recommended steps to shutdown and power off the NFA servers.
The main concern is to shutdown MySql successfully to not cause any DB damage.
Shut down the servers in the following order and power up in reverse order.
Harvester:
1. Load Services
2. Stop the following services:
NetQoS NQMySql
CA MySql (This will should the following services. If not then stop them manually)
CA NFA Reaper
CA NFA DNS/SNMP Proxies
CA NFA Harvester
CA NFA Poller
CA NFA Data Retention
Check for any other CA* or NETQoS service and shut them down manually.
At this point the harvester server can be shutdown.
DSA:
1. Load Services
2. Stop the following services:
NetQoS NQMySql
CA MySql (This will should the following services. If not then stop them manually)
CA NFA DSALoader
CA NFA Data Retention
CA NFA Pump
Check for any other CA* or NETQoS service and shut them down manually.
At this point the DSA server can be shutdown.
NFA Console:
1. Load Services
2. Stop the following services:
CA MySql (This will should the following services. If not then stop them manually)
NetQoS ReporterAnalyzer General Services
NetQoS ReporterAnalyzer Query Services
NetQoS ReporterAnalyzer Watchdog
NetQoS ReporterAnalyzer Pump Service
NetQoS ReporterAnalyzer Report Service
NetQoS Reporter Manager Service
