How to restart two CAS controller with Viya-ark ?

[nhousset]

Hello,

We have an VIYA 3.5 environment 2two CAS controller (the first with 5 workers and the second with 3) and we would like to know if viya-ark supports this type of configuration.
Today, we have two inventory.ini files, one initial with all the machine definitions and groups, and a second with the second controller case and workers (this is the file used when deploying the second CAS controller ).

What's the best way to stop/start/resart all the process via viya-ark in this type of configuration?
Will it work to merge the two inventories, for stop/relaunch only?
Or, should you still use a second inventory, but remove the httpproxy definition, for example, to avoid the stop/relaunch of the second case controller stopping the http proxy on the MS server?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

The viya-mmsu tool only acts upon a single inventory.ini at a time, most likely it should work just fine on the separated inventory.ini by running it once on each in the correct order. However, if you wish to create custom merged inventory just for the purposes of managing the services with viya-mmsu (and customized to omit httpproxy) then that could be a good idea as well as long as you don't attempt to run deployment operations using that custom inventory.
