Restart the Replication Engine

Restart the Oracle MaxRep Replication Engine when you need to restart the operating system of the Replication Engine.

Restart the Replication Engine, which is running the replication services, using the Oracle MaxRep Support User Interface. Run the Support UI from a separate web page than the Oracle MaxRep for SAN software.

Caution

Restarting the replication services stops all data replication services. In some circumstances, a resynchronization might be required when the services are restarted. To avoid the resynchronization, use the stop command when the Replication Engine is not backing up data.

Note: If you are restarting the control service Replication Engine, the web services that run the Oracle MaxRep for SAN GUI and the Support UI also restart. These interfaces are not accessible until the control service Replication Engine restart has completed.

Log in to the Support User Interface page on the control service Replication Engine.
Result:
The Dashboard page displays.
Click the Management Tasks > Shutdown/Restart Services link.
From the Host list, select the Replication Engine that is running the Oracle MaxRep replication services.
Select Restart Replication Services.
To restart the replication services, click Save Task.

If you restarted the control service Replication Engine, the web services that run the Oracle MaxRep for SAN GUI and the Support UI also restart. These interfaces are not accessible until the control service Replication Engine restart has completed.

In some circumstances you might also need to perform a resychronization of your protection plans after the Replication Engine has restarted.
