A Safe Cluster Shutdown Procedure
A safe cluster shutdown should follow these steps:
1. Shut down the standby servers using the stop-tc-server script.
2. Shut down the clients. The Terracotta client will shut down when you shut down your application.
3. Shut down the active server using the stop-tc-server script.
To restart the cluster, first start the server that was last active. If clustered data is not persisted, any of the servers could be started first as no data conflicts can take place.
