Using S1 7.1 sp1 .. need server / service reboot order
Hey ... wow talk about getting yourself into something that can take way more time than you want....
we are fully into the S1 product for email/ sharepoint / and file servers,
right now just archiving everything we can get under email to capture our current data.
A number of microsoft patches have been applied and I need to restart all the servers so the patches can finish the install (bew / few / file server/ sql/ iqr/ arr) ...
What is the best order to reboot the servers in and I know I need to stop the current jobs but do I need to stop any services before hand?
we are up and running but there are no users accessing the archive or web site yet ... so I do not need to worry about that.
thanks
David

Hi David,
After stopping activities, you want to take care of sourceone services on sourceone servers especially native archive servers. If activities are stopped then workers are pretty much idle and you van confirm from source one console.
You may want to write batch files to stop and start all services in one go. This will help you everytime you need to reboot sourceone servers. I am away from mu computer oyherwise might have posted the contents for batch files.
Best regards,

Attached are the two I usually use. I have seen others who have a command that will stop/start services across all SourceOne servers.
Cheers,

thanks for the info ... but I think I missed something... after stopping the jobs from running, which server do I stop services on first (what is the order at the server level) ... I am guessing this is it but not sure:
power down
Master server / (BEW) back end worker (all)
FEW front end workers (all)
IQR index query retrieve
ARR archive / retrieve
SQL sql
FS ... file server (shares)
reverse the order on power up ?
FS
SQL
ARR
IQR
FEW
BEW / Master
will the scripts change the services to not autostart on reboot so i need to run the start services .bat file or will the autostart as they come up ?

Hi David,
That's correct, you first need to stop all Organizational Policies, and ensure that all of the jobs complete in Job Management.
That order looks good, but on the SourceOne side, I usually leave the Master for last.
(BEW) back end worker (all)
FEW front end workers (all)
IQR index query retrieve
ARR archive / retrieve
Master
SQL sql
FS ... file server (shares)
reverse the order on power up ?
FS
SQL
Master
ARR
IQR
FEW
BEW
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Brad

Once all services have been stopped on all servers, and you're sure that currently no jobs are being processed, you can shutdown the servers in any order you prefer.
