Restarting ASC service instances

You may have to restart a service instance to have a configuration change take effect (for example, after changing the log level for a service). You can also restart a service instance that was held.

Before you begin

You must be a cluster administrator or have the Services Control permission to restart service instances.

About this task

You can restart service instances in the START and RUN states. You can also restart service instances in the HOLD state. Note, however, that you cannot restart service instance belonging to the WEBGUI service.

When you restart a service instance, the system chooses the best host to start the service on again; it may or may not start the service on the same host as before.

You can restart any service instance from the cluster management console or manually from the command line (by running the egosh service instance restart -s service_name sequence_number command).

Procedure

  1. From the cluster management console, select Application Instances.
  2. Select an application instance.
  3. Click the Services tab, then click the service that runs the instance you want to restart.
  4. Click the Service Instances tab.

    A list of service instances displays.

  5. (Optional) Click Filter Settings to narrow your search.
    • To filter service instances by ID, enter the ID of the service instance in the Instance ID text box and click Find.
    • To filter service instances by state, click the state START, RUN, or HOLD and click Filter.
    One or more service instances that match your criteria displays.
  6. Select one or more of the service instances that you want to restart and click Restart.

Results

The service instance is placed in the START state.
