Shutting Down the HP XC System

The stopsys command implements the actions to be taken to shut down the system.

The following procedure describes the steps necessary to shut down the HP XC system:

Log in to any node as superuser.
Logging in to the head node is preferred for shutting down the system.
This step only applies if your system is configured for improved availability. Otherwise, proceed to step 3.
If any of the following criteria applies to your system, enter the transfer_from_avail command:
- You are shutting down the HP XC system with the intention of running the cluster_config utility.
- You are rebooting the head node and you use the HP Serviceguard Quorum server.
Ignore this step (and proceed to step 3) if any of the following apply:
- You are not rebooting the head node.
- You are rebooting the head node, and you use LOC_LUN under HP Serviceguard.
The format of the transfer_from_avail command is as follows:
# transfer_from_avail
Enter the stopsys command to shut down the HP XC system. If necessary, you can specify a delay (in minutes) with the --delay option:
# stopsys --delay 5




	Notes: Use the `--full` option to shut down the head node. By default, the stopsys command keeps the head node running.

The stopsys command initiates a shutdown command on the nodes and starts a countdown. The stopsys command forces the node to power off if it does not power off after the countdown. You can use the --hard option to ignore the countdown and power the nodes off immediately.

For additional information about the stopsys command, see stopsys(8).

NOTE: If all these conditions apply, follow the procedure to restart HP Serviceguard:

Your system is configured for improved availability.
Your system is configured for HP Serviceguard, but it does not start up.
You rebooted the head node.
You want to start up the head node only.

Enter the following command where hn_name is the name of the head node:
# cmruncl -n hn_name
The default installed path name for this command is /usr/local/cmcluster/bin/cmruncl.
Answer y at the prompt.
