Shutdown order
To preserve data integrity, follow the following shutdown order for the vRealize Automation components:
- Shut down the primary vRO appliance. Once the shutdown completes, shut down the secondary nodes.
- Shut down the Distributed Execution Manager Orchestrator, Workers, and all the vRealize Automation agents in any order and wait until all components finish shutting down.
- Shut down the Manager Service machine. Once the shutdown finishes, continue to shut down additional nodes if they exist.
- Shut down the primary web node. Once the shutdown finishes, continue to shut down additional nodes if they exist.
- Shut down the primary vRealize CAFÉ appliance. Once the shutdown finishes, continue to shut down additional node if they exist.
- Shut down the PostgreSQL and MSSQL virtual machines in any order and wait until the shutdown finishes.
- Shut down your SSO appliance, which could be an identity appliance or a vSphere SSO/PSC if this is dedicated for the vRA deployment.
- Shutting down the load balancer will be the last step.
