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

Select the node (host) to be stopped.
Choose Cluster Nodes > Stop Node (Selected Menu) or Cluster Stop Node (Command Launcher).
Complete the Stop Cluster Node dialog box as follows (if applicable):
Cluster Node:
Type the name of the host machine or click Browse to select the host.
When you have provided all necessary information in the dialog box, click OK.

Confirm that you want to stop this node.

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.
