Expected outcome: Successfully rebooting foreman server setup

**Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:**Foreman 3.13 with Katello 4.15

Distribution and version: Rocky 9

Other relevant data:

We are having 3 servers for foreman setup. One is for foreman main server, second is for smart proxy server, and third is for DB server. If we need to reboot the entire foreman setup server, what is the order/steps we need to follow for entire foreman server reboot.

Please help us on this query.

The smart-proxy server you should be perfectly fine with rebooting whenever you like. Reconnect between smart-proxy and Foreman works flawlessly once they come back online.
I am not certain on how reconnects with an external DB Server work, but just for safety it would probably be best to reboot them in this order:
Shut down Foreman App on main Server → reboot DB-Server → reboot Foreman Server
As mentioned, smart-proxy servers reconnect perfectly fine, so you can do that one whenever.
