This article explains to stop/start contrail services in 5.x and later version which do not have the command equivalent of service <service name> restart .

In the Contrail versions 3.x and earlier, services were divided into categories such as Contrail Control, Contrail Analytics, Contrail Config, Contrail Config, etc. All related services could be restarted on a particular node by running the command  service supervisor-**** restart . For example, restarting all services related to Contrail Control could be done by the command,  service supervisor-control restart . This would trigger a restart for all services in a particular order, which prevents any inconsistencies.

Since 5.x and later versions are based on a micro-services architecture, the  service *** restart  command cannot be used. Instead, services can be restarted with the same effect using the  docker-compose  command.

Example:

cd /etc/contrail/
ls -lah
[root@CONTROLLER1 contrail]# ls -l
