NetBackup™ Flex Scale Administrator's Guide

Rebooting a node

You can reboot a cluster node. If you reboot a management console node (the node where the NetBackup Flex Scale UI is running), the UI fails over to another cluster node that is online and healthy. It can take a few minutes for the UI to be up on another node.

To identify the management console node, in the NetBackup Flex Scale infrastructure management UI, navigate to Monitor > Infrastructure. On theInfrastructure page, Console node shows the management console node.

To reboot a node:

  1. Use any one of the following options to log on using the user account that you created when you configured the cluster:
    • Use a user account with both Appliance administrator and NetBackup administrator role, or a user account with only an Appliance administrator role to log on to the NetBackup Flex Scale web interface https://ManagementServerIPorFQDN/webui where ManagementServerIPorFQDN is the public IP address or the FQDN that you specified for the NetBackup Flex Scale management server during the cluster configuration, and then in the left pane click Cluster Management > Infrastructure.

    • Use a user account with an Appliance Administrator role to log on to the NetBackup Flex Scale infrastructure management console https://ManagementServerIPorFQDN:14161 where ManagementServerIPorFQDN is the public IP address or the FQDN that you specified for the NetBackup Flex Scale management server during the cluster configuration, and then in the left pane click Monitor > Infrastructure.

  2. Click the Nodes tab.

    The list of cluster nodes is displayed.

  3. To reboot the node, click the Actions menu (vertical ellipsis) from the right side of the row in the UI, and click Reboot Node. When prompted for confirmation, click Reboot Node.

    If you are in the NetBackup Flex Scale web UI, when prompted, click Open cluster console to open the NetBackup Flex Scale infrastructure management UI in a new browser tab. In the NetBackup Flex Scale infrastructure management UI, when prompted to confirm, click Reboot Node.
