Hey folks,
I am looking for some best practice advice. I was talking with our systems guy this morning, and he wants to set up an automatic server patching plan on our Ignition environment. I am running version 8.1.47 with a primary server and cold swap back up. The thought was, patch the backup server and reboot. Once the backup is online, force a fail over, patch the primary, reboot, and fail back to the primary. I was looking through the documentation on GWCMD, but I don’t see anything related to forcing a failover. So my question is, what’s the best plan of attack for this request? Do I just stop the Ignition service on the primary before patching, or is there another way to switch to the back up?
