Description

This article provides detailed information about how to restart nodes in a Sitecore XP solution in Managed Cloud containerized deployment.

Limitations And Risks

Important: Read the following recommendations before you start the reboot process:

• Nodes must be restarted when there are pending security updates to be applied on Linux Node Operating System.
• Restarting the Nodes might result in the loss of data if the data is not saved properly. To save the data, follow the container best practices.
• To restart nodes without downtime additional temporary nodes are created. Please make sure your subscription has enough quotas to perform scaling.
• To get help on restarting the nodes, create a new service request on the Sitecore Support Portal.
• Sitecore is not responsible for the loss of your data during the Node restart. 

Steps To Restart The Node

1. Make sure that all data has been saved.
2. Go to your Azure DevOps organization and project.
3. Click Pipelines.
   
4. Select the Restart Nodes pipeline among the other pipelines.
   
5. Click Run Pipeline.
   
6. Select the node you want to restart.
   Note that a pipeline has two options to restart Windows or/and Linux node types. Restarting each node type means restarting all node instances of the selected node type.
   
7. Click Run.
8. Click Job to see the progress and check logs.
