AOS v5.20.0.1 LTS

pc.2021.5.0.1

 

I need to resize the PCVM from 8 to 10 vCPU and 31 G to 45G memory.

Following KB 8932.

First step is cluster stop.

Command is in an infinite loop. Continually repeats:

Waiting on REDACTED (Up, ZeusLeader) to stop:  Zeus Scavenger VipMonitor Prism

 

Should I wait this out?

Should I interrupt it? If so, then what?

Nutanix SRE responded to a case I had opened.

SRE checked current status of services from another session and issued a:

genesis stop

I asked if this is the normal course. He said no and that it should only be done as a last resort as it is critical that services be stopped in the proper order.

In my particular case, it was OK to do it.

Original session stopped looping when everything stopped (no surprise).

I made the changes I needed to make to the Prism Central VM and powered up. Logged into PCVM and did the cluster start without incident. All is well.
