Start and Stop Nodes and Cluster

This section describes how to stop and start the PCE.

Start Individual PCE Node

This command starts the node where it is run:

sudo -u ilo-pce illumio-pce-ctl start
Stop a PCE Node or Entire Cluster

This command stops the node where it is run:

sudo -u ilo-pce illumio-pce-ctl stop

This command stops the entire cluster and can be run on any node in the cluster:

sudo -u ilo-pce illumio-pce-ctl cluster-stop
Restart a PCE Node or Entire Cluster

This command restarts the node where it is run:

sudo -u ilo-pce illumio-pce-ctl restart

This command restarts the entire cluster and can be run on any node in the cluster:

sudo -u ilo-pce illumio-pce-ctl cluster-restart

When the PCE is restarted, the UI can become available before all the required PCE services are running. In this case, an informative message is displayed in the UI, like "PCE is Unavailable."
