environment.mode=maintenance

When applying a template in maintenance mode, Command Central runs only the following default steps to update installed products to their current fixes:

Step 1

Validates the composite template, as described in the Validating a Composite Template topic.

Step 2

Pauses and then stops the run-time components on all nodes included in the provision: section of the template. Installs the fixes for the products (and product plug-ins) defined in the inline templates.

Step 3

Starts the run-time components on all nodes. You can control this behavior by adding an options: section in the template and setting the startupLayers: parameter, as described in Options.

Step 4

Executes the resume lifecycle operation on all runtimes.

To control the behavior of the template in maintenance mode, include the maintenance: section in the template definition, as described in Maintenance.
