Can I restart gui management without disrupting connections?

[Jay_Stan_326207]

Hello,

I hope this is an easy question. I am new to the F5. I am having issues with the management console being very slow on my primary BigIP F5. I am trying to work my way through the troubleshooting suggestions on the site. I ran across a post that said to restart the httpd service. No help in the F5 logs.

Question, can I restart the service without disrupting the load balancing / production connections?

Thanks

commands: 'bigstart restart httpd' & 'bigstart restart tomcat'

Restarting these two daemons (httpd and tomcat) only affects the management GUI. No production services use these functions.

I was asking that same question while going through these steps to restore a device cert:
