Restarting Node Devices

To restart both devices in an HA configuration, you must initiate the process from the active node under most circumstances.

If an installed or updated software component requires a system restart, when you log in to either device, a popup message appears and asks you to restart the devices. In this scenario, you can initiate the restart process from either the active node or the standby node by clicking the corresponding button in the popup message.

Note:

  • To ensure the devices resume their current node roles after restart, do not disconnect the power supply during the restart process.

  • To restart a single device, you must first remove the HA configuration. For details, see Removing HA Configuration.

  1. Log on to QNE on the active node.
  2. On the QNE desktop, click [USERNAME].

    A drop-down menu appears.

  3. Click Restart.

    A confirmation message appears.

  4. Click Confirm.

    1. The restart screen appears.

    2. The active node requests the standby node to restart.

    3. The standby node restarts.

    4. The active node confirms that the standby node has restarted.

    5. The active node restarts.

    6. The active node reconnects with the standby node and checks the status of the standby node.

      Note:

      If the active node is unable to check the status of the standby node before timeout, the system enters an error status. For details on resolving the error status, see HA Status.

    7. The system reestablishes the HA link between the node devices.
