Issue/Introduction

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.

Environment

NFA 9.3.x

Resolution

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.
