Maintenance

Learn the essential maintenance workflows for Tungsten Cluster, including safe start/stop procedures, isolating nodes, updating cluster parameters, executing rolling maintenance with controlled switches, and performing in-place software upgrades without unexpected failovers.​

This session demonstrates when and how to place the cluster in maintenance, use cctrl datasource shun to isolate nodes, apply configuration changes via tungsten.ini and tpm update, and re-introduce nodes cleanly to preserve availability.​

You’ll also follow a step-by-step rolling maintenance plan plus upgrade guidance using tools/tpm update --replace-release, connector handling, and version-safety rules before returning to AUTOMATIC mode.
