Stopping VCS on the cluster node
--------------------------------
To stop VCS on the cluster node:

environment variable so that you can execute all the VCS commands.
For more information, refer to the Veritas Cluster Server
Installation Guide.
2. Verify that the version of VRTSvcs is 7.2 for Linux.
3. Freeze all the service groups persistently.
# haconf -makerw
# hagrp -freeze [group] -persistent
# haconf -dump -makero
4. Stop the cluster on all nodes. If the cluster is writable, you may
close the configuration before stopping the cluster.
# haconf -dump -makero
From any node, execute the following command.
# hastop -all
or
# hastop -all -force
Verify that the cluster is stopped on all nodes
by running the 'ha' command.
# hasys -state
On all nodes, make sure that both had and hashadow processes are
stopped.
5. Log in as the super user into the system where the patch is to be
installed.
6. Run the preceding steps on all nodes in the VCS cluster.

# haconf -makerw
# hagrp -unfreeze [group] -persistent
# haconf -dump -makero
