Stop clusters

Use this task to stop a cluster and any application servers that are members of that cluster.

Overview

Procedure

1. Click Servers > Clusters in the console navigation tree to access the Server Cluster page.

2. Select those clusters whose members you want stopped.

3. Click Stop or Immediate Stop.

   • Stop halts each server in a manner that allows the server to finish existing requests and allows failover to another member of the cluster. When the stop operation begins the cluster state changes to partially stopped. After all servers stop, the cluster state becomes Stopped.

   • Immediate Stop brings down the server quickly without regard to existing requests. The server ignores any current or pending tasks. When the stop operation begins, the cluster state changes to Partially stopped. After all servers stop, the cluster state becomes Stopped.
