Answer

There is a new component pf9-nodelet which controls the lifecycle of the Kubernetes stack. You can start and stop the stack by using the following command.

/opt/pf9/nodelet/nodeletd phases stop
/opt/pf9/nodelet/nodeletd phases start

pf9-nodelet offers you more granularity for controlling the K8s stack compared to the old init.d script. You can see the other options available to you by running the command with a -h flag.

# /opt/pf9/nodelet/nodeletd phases -h
