6.2.12 Restart the Application
If the Application State displays Disabled, Restart starts the software. If the Application State displays Enabled, Restart stops and then starts the software. Restarting the software places it in the enabled state.
- To restart a newly created server, which has software in the disabled state.
- When a server is removed and re-added to topology and has software in the disabled state.
GUI sessions are not affected by the restart application software action. You may continue to use the GUI as these actions progress. You may use GUI sessions connected to servers with application software being restarted. GUI provisioning may be affected if the server is the active NOAMP server. Stopping and starting application software may cause a switchover as well; you can observe changes in the status of these servers from the Server Status page.
Caution:
Do not click Restart for an application until you have assessed the impact on the system. Restarting the application on a server can adversely affect processes on this server and/or other servers in the network element.Use this procedure to restart the application on a server:
- Servers continue to emit alarms and collect measurements.
- NOAMP and SOAM servers continue to publish replicated data and accept GUI connections.
- SOAM and Message processing servers continue to subscribe to replicated data.
- NOAMP servers do not accept provisioning/configuration changes.
- Message Processing servers do not maintain signaling connections or process messages.
