Chapter 19. Shutting down and starting up the undercloud and overcloud

1. Shut down instances on overcloud Compute nodes
2. Shut down Compute nodes
3. Stop all high availability and OpenStack Platform services on Controller nodes
4. Shut down Ceph Storage nodes
5. Shut down Controller nodes
6. Shut down the undercloud

Procedure

1. Log in to the undercloud as the stack user.

2. Source the credentials file for your overcloud:

   $ source ~/overcloudrc

3. View running instances in the overcloud:

   $ openstack server list --all-projects

4. Stop each instance in the overcloud:

   $ openstack server stop <INSTANCE>

   Repeat this step for each instance until you stop all instances in the overcloud.

Procedure

1. Log in as the root user to a Compute node.

2. Shut down the node:

   # shutdown -h now

3. Perform these steps for each Compute node until you shut down all Compute nodes.

Procedure

1. Log in as the root user to a Controller node.

2. Stop the Pacemaker cluster.

   # pcs cluster stop --all

   This command stops the cluster on all nodes.

3. Wait until the Pacemaker services stop and check that the services stopped.

   1. Check the Pacemaker status:

      # pcs status

   2. Check that no Pacemaker services are running in Podman:

      # podman ps --filter "name=.*-bundle.*"

4. Stop the Red Hat OpenStack Platform services:

   # systemctl stop 'tripleo_*'

5. Wait until the services stop and check that services are no longer running in Podman:

   # podman ps

Procedure

1. Log in as the root user to a node that runs Ceph MON services, such as a Controller node or a standalone Ceph MON node.

2. Check the health of the cluster. In the following example, the podman command runs a status check within a Ceph MON container on a Controller node:

   # sudo podman exec -it ceph-mon-controller-0 ceph status

   Ensure that the status is HEALTH_OK.

3. Set the noout, norecover, norebalance, nobackfill, nodown, and pause flags for the cluster. In the following example, the podman commands set these flags through a Ceph MON container on a Controller node:

   # sudo podman exec -it ceph-mon-controller-0 ceph osd set noout
   # sudo podman exec -it ceph-mon-controller-0 ceph osd set norecover
   # sudo podman exec -it ceph-mon-controller-0 ceph osd set norebalance
   # sudo podman exec -it ceph-mon-controller-0 ceph osd set nobackfill
   # sudo podman exec -it ceph-mon-controller-0 ceph osd set nodown
   # sudo podman exec -it ceph-mon-controller-0 ceph osd set pause

4. Shut down each Ceph Storage node:

   1. Log in as the root user to a Ceph Storage node.

   2. Shut down the node:

      # shutdown -h now

   3. Perform these steps for each Ceph Storage node until you shut down all Ceph Storage nodes.

5. Shut down any standalone Ceph MON nodes:

   1. Log in as the root user to a standalone Ceph MON node.

   2. Shut down the node:

      # shutdown -h now

   3. Perform these steps for each standalone Ceph MON node until you shut down all standalone Ceph MON nodes.

Procedure

1. Log in as the root user to a Controller node.

2. Shut down the node:

   # shutdown -h now

3. Perform these steps for each Controller node until you shut down all Controller nodes.

Procedure

1. Log in to the undercloud as the stack user.

2. Shut down the undercloud:

   $ sudo shutdown -h now

1. Start the undercloud.
2. Start Controller nodes.
3. Start Ceph Storage nodes.
4. Start Compute nodes.
5. Start instances on overcloud Compute nodes.

Verification

1. Log in to the undercloud host as the stack user.

2. Source the stackrc undercloud credentials file:

   $ source ~/stackrc

3. Check the services on the undercloud:

   $ systemctl list-units 'tripleo_*'

4. Create and validate a static inventory file named inventory.yaml:

   $ tripleo-ansible-inventory --static-yaml-inventory inventory.yaml
   $ openstack tripleo validator run --group pre-introspection \
    -i inventory.yaml

5. Check that all services and containers are active and healthy:

   $ openstack tripleo validator run --validation service-status \
    --limit undercloud -i inventory.yaml

Verification

1. Log in to each Controller node as the root user.

2. Check the services on the Controller node:

   $ systemctl -t service

   Only non-Pacemaker based services are running.

3. Wait until the Pacemaker services start and check that the services started:

   $ pcs status

   Note

   If your environment uses Instance HA, the Pacemaker resources do not start until you start the Compute nodes or perform a manual unfence operation with the pcs stonith confirm <compute_node> command. You must run this command on each Compute node that uses Instance HA.

Procedure

1. If your environment has standalone Ceph MON nodes, power on each Ceph MON node.
2. Power on each Ceph Storage node.
3. Log in as the root user to a node that runs Ceph MON services, such as a Controller node or a standalone Ceph MON node.

4. Check the status of the cluster nodes. In the following example, the podman command runs a status check within a Ceph MON container on a Controller node:

   # sudo podman exec -it ceph-mon-controller-0 ceph status

   Ensure that each node is powered on and connected.

5. Unset the noout, norecover, norebalance, nobackfill, nodown and pause flags for the cluster. In the following example, the podman commands unset these flags through a Ceph MON container on a Controller node:

   # sudo podman exec -it ceph-mon-controller-0 ceph osd unset noout
   # sudo podman exec -it ceph-mon-controller-0 ceph osd unset norecover
   # sudo podman exec -it ceph-mon-controller-0 ceph osd unset norebalance
   # sudo podman exec -it ceph-mon-controller-0 ceph osd unset nobackfill
   # sudo podman exec -it ceph-mon-controller-0 ceph osd unset nodown
   # sudo podman exec -it ceph-mon-controller-0 ceph osd unset pause

Verification

1. Check the health of the cluster. In the following example, the podman command runs a status check within a Ceph MON container on a Controller node:

   # sudo podman exec -it ceph-mon-controller-0 ceph status

   Ensure the status is HEALTH_OK.

Procedure

1. Power on each Compute node.

Verification

1. Log in to each Compute as the root user.

2. Check the services on the Compute node:

   $ systemctl -t service

Procedure

1. Log in to the undercloud as the stack user.

2. Source the credentials file for your overcloud:

   $ source ~/overcloudrc

3. View running instances in the overcloud:

   $ openstack server list --all-projects

4. Start an instance in the overcloud:

   $ openstack server start <INSTANCE>
