Graceful Shutdown and Restart

This article explains the graceful shutdown and restart process. It is important to note, that before you go through a power cycling, the solution should be removed. This will not purge data, it will only disable the running application.

To Perform a Graceful Shutdown

1. Sign in as admin user
2. Run the following command:

/etc/aod/solution.sh rm aod

All the docker containers will shutdown gracefully.

To Verify Shutdown is Complete

1. Run the following command:

docker ps

This will only show the Vault container that is running. After verifying the shutdown is complete, following your internal procedures, you can power down your virtual machine .

To Restart the Solution

1. Power up your system as usual.
   Note that the DockerSwarm takes a few minutes to fully initialize.

To Verify Minimum Services are Running

1. Run the following command:

docker node ls

docker ps | grep -i vault

The vault must be unsealed before proceeding.

To Unseal the Vault

1. Run the following command (with your saved deployment root key):

/home/admin/skylight-installer/bin/vaultCmd.sh operator unseal

You can now re-deploy the solution.

To deploy the Solution

1. Run the following command:

etc/aod/solution.sh deploy aod

All services will now come up gracefully.

To Verify Services

1. Run the following command:

watch "docker service ls | grep 0/1"
