Stopping a Node
This procedure stops a node (host) in a cluster and makes that node
inaccessible to the cluster. A stopped node cannot access shared objects
in the cluster. If the stopped node is the master node, another node in the
cluster automatically becomes the new master.
To stop a node in a cluster
Step 1. Select the node (host) to be stopped.
Step 2. Choose Cluster Nodes > Stop Node (Selected Menu) or Cluster Stop Node
(Command Launcher).
Step 3. Complete the Stop Cluster Node dialog box as follows (if applicable):
When you have provided all necessary information in the dialog box,
click OK.
Step 4. Confirm that you want to stop this node.
Cluster Node: Type the name of the host machine or click Browse to
select the host.
Notes:
• This task is only applicable in a cluster environment.
• When a node is stopped, the node cannot access the shared objects in
the cluster.
• If the master node is stopped, another node in the cluster
automatically becomes the new master.
