restarting active node on two nodes cluster

[Yehia Farouk]

Hi admins,

can you tell me quick procedure to restart an active node on two nodes cluster,( manual fail back)

I think I have to
1- halt the pkg on the running node
2- check if it failed over on the node successfully, other wise start it manually on the other one
3- reboot the first node
4- halt the package on the second node ( to fail back)
5- run the package again on the first node
6- modify the package on the second node (cmmodpkg -e)

is it right ??

1. Halt the package on node1
# cmhaltpkg -v
2. Check if the package is halted successfully on node1 (/etc/cmcluster//pkg.cntl.log
3. Start the package on node2
# cmrunpkg -n
4. Reboot the node1

5. Once the node is up, check if the node has joined the cluster.(syslog.log & cmviewcl)

6. Stop the package on node2
# cmhaltpkg -v
7. Start the package on node1
# cmrunpkg -v
8. cmmodpkg -e
