Infoblox: Restart services
While most changes take effect immediately, certain changes within the Infoblox system require the underlying service daemons to be restarted. For DHCP, adding reserved addresses or fixed address entries usually do not require a service restart. Adding additional subnets/ranges for DHCP services and/or modifications to an existing subnet or range will require a restart.
After making a change that requires a service daemon restart, a yellow banner will appear at the top of the web interface.
Click "Restart" on the upper left, and the following box will appear. You can leave the default options listed in the box as shown below, and click
the "Restart" button in the lower right.
- Restart Grid Services = "If needed"
- Restart Method = "Restart all Restart Groups"
The Infoblox system will take care of restarting the individual services sequentially across all the appliances where a restart is needed. As implemented, this is not service-affecting.
If you are making a change and are prompted to restart, you may click-through the dialogue boxes to restart at your convenience.
If you are not making changes and see the yellow bar prompting a restart, it is likely due to some other user's changes. Feel free to ignore the prompt.
