While testing disaster recovery it is advisable to take offline the primary API Manager. This instructions will cover OpenShift and Kubernetes.

Take Offline

The safest way to do this is to update the Management CR and add the template section below into .spec.

spec:
  template:
  - name: apim
    enabled: false
  - name: apim-schema
    enabled: false
  - name: apim-data
    enabled: false
  - name: taskmanager
    enabled: false
  - name: lur
    enabled: false
  - name: lur-schema
    enabled: false
  - name: lur-data
    enabled: false
  - name: analytics-proxy
    enabled: false
  - name: portal-proxy
    enabled: false
  - name: billing
    enabled: false
  - name: juhu
    enabled: false
  - name: websocket-proxy
    enabled: false
  - name: ui
    enabled: false

The Management CR can be editted with oc edit mgmt <mgmt cr name>

If you are using The top Level CR you need to add the following into the Top Level CR .spec.

spec:
  template:
  - name: mgmt-apim
    enabled: false
  - name: mgmt-apim-schema
    enabled: false
  - name: mgmt-apim-data
    enabled: false
  - name: mgmt-taskmanager
    enabled: false
  - name: mgmt-lur
    enabled: false
  - name: mgmt-lur-schema
    enabled: false
  - name: mgmt-lur-data
    enabled: false
  - name: mgmt-analytics-proxy
    enabled: false
  - name: mgmt-portal-proxy
    enabled: false
  - name: mgmt-billing
    enabled: false
  - name: mgmt-juhu
    enabled: false
  - name: mgmt-websocket-proxy
    enabled: false
  - name: mgmt-ui
    enabled: false

The Top Level CR can be editted with oc edit apiconnectcluster <top level cr name>
