Verify PI AF application service after cluster upgrade

Before you begin, make sure you upgrade the PI AF SQL Server database.

Start the PI AF application service, verify that the service can run on all nodes of the cluster, and verify that client applications can connect.

1. Log on to the active node of the cluster on which the PI AF application service is installed.

2. Resume all non-active nodes in the cluster by selecting Resume > Do Not Fail Roles Back for each node.

   Note that the Do Not Fail Roles Back option may not be available on earlier versions of Windows.

3. Bring the AFSERVER role online.

4. Determine if a node can run the PI AF server and a client application can connect to the server:

   1. Open the Services list and ensure that the Startup Type is Manual for the PI AF Application Service on each machine in the cluster.

      Only one machine should show the service as Started.

   2. Verify a client application can connect using the network name assigned to the cluster.

5. Repeat the previous step to verify that all nodes in the failover cluster can run the PI AF server and a client application can always connect.

The upgrade of PI AF server in a failover cluster is now complete.
