Restarting the Services

Describes how to restart a service using either the Control System, the CLI or the REST API.

When a data-fabric system is rebooted, the following services are automatically restarted:
  • mapr-warden
  • mapr-zookeeper
  • mapr-loopbacknfs
  • mapr-posix-client-*
These services are also automatically restarted if they are shut down externally (as opposed to being shut down explicitly via service or sysctl commands).
Note: This feature is implemented with systemd and is only supported on the following operating systems:
  • RHEL 7.0, 7.1
  • CentOS 7.0, 7.1
  • SuSe 12
This feature is not supported on any of the Ubuntu versions that data-fabric currently supports.

You can restart one or more services using the Control System and the CLI if the services are not disabled. However, if a service is disabled, the service cannot be restarted. To restart a service, make sure the service is enabled. See Enabling and Disabling a Service Using the CLI and REST API for more information.

Restarting the Services Running on the Nodes Using the Control System

To restart the services running on the nodes:

  1. Log in to the Control System and click Nodes to display the Nodes page.
    Note: The Nodes page is not available on the Kubernetes version of the Control System.
  2. Select the nodes from the list of nodes in the Nodes pane and click Manage Services to display the Manage Services window.
  3. Choose the Restart radio button for the services you wish to restart on the selected nodes and click Save.
