Clean restart live node without doing a reindex – Rezolve Ai Support Portal

Sometimes its needed to restart an existing live node with a fresh index. This can be achieved with the following steps on the live node itself

Prerequisite

Make sure syncserver is running on the indexer machine

Steps

1. Stop all FAS processes except the Deployment Agent on the Live instance

bin/deployment-agent-client invoke <INSTANCE> syncclient stop
bin/deployment-agent-client invoke <INSTANCE> qserver stop

check if the processes are really stopped by run (ps -e f) you should see only record for deplyoment-agent process, If synclcient/qserver processes still running kill the process by


kill -9 <process_id>

2. Wipe the existing index:

bin/deployment-agent-client  delete --instance <INSTANCE> data/indices

3. Start the syncclient process of the instance:

bin/deployment-agent-client invoke <INSTANCE> syncclient start

4. Start the qserver process of the instance in live mode:

bin/deployment-agent-client invoke -Drole=live <INSTANCE> qserver start
