Entering an application into maintenance mode
You may need to intentionally take an application offline for maintenance purposes, without triggering a corrective response from Cluster Server (VCS).
To enter an application into maintenance mode, perform the following steps in the application table of the High Availability dashboard.
Note:
The maintenance mode configuration is application-specific, not system-specific.
To enter maintenance mode
- Filter the application that you want to gracefully take offline for maintenance.
See Searching for application instances by using filters.
The application table displays all the instances of the filtered applications.
- If required, select multiple applications or instances to perform a batch operation.
- To enter maintenance mode, in the taskbar, click the appropriate icon for entering maintenance mode (use the tool tip to recognize the appropriate icon).
- If a system restarts while the application is in maintenance mode, and you want the application to remain in maintenance mode, then in the Enter Maintenance Mode panel, check the Suspend the application availability even after reboot.
- On the Enter Maintenance Mode panel, click OK.
