Anthos graceful shutdown of cluster nodes

[muanang]

Hi,

Just want to ask if there's a guide on how to gracefully shutdown the cluster (nodes) in Anthos? Or what is the proper sequence to shut it down?

Thank you!

What exactly are you trying to do?  And are you using Anthos on Bare Metal or Anthos on VMWare?

Hi @garisingh , I'm using Anthos on Bare Metal (Don't have yet vmware to test). I'm planning on moving my poc hardware to another location so I have to shut it down. Just wondering if there's a sequence when shutting down the anthos cluster. Thank you!

Assuming that you are able to keep the same IP addresses for your nodes in the new location, then you should be ok to:

1. shutdown each worker node
2. shutdown each master node
3. move your hardware
4. start each worker node
5. start your master nodes

Technically, I don't think it matters whether or not you start the masters or workers first.

If you are planning to change the IP addresses of the physical node machines, then there will be issues for sure.
