Additional considerations for stopping VCS
-
If using the command
reboot
, behavior is controlled by the ShutdownTimeOut parameter. After HAD exits, if GAB exits within the time designated in the ShutdownTimeout attribute, the remaining systems recognize this as a reboot and fail over service groups from the departed system. For systems running several applications, consider increasing the value in the ShutdownTimeout attribute.
-
Stopping VCS on a system autodisables each service group that includes the system in their SystemList attribute. (This does not apply to systems that are powered off.)
-
If you use the
-evacuate
option, evacuation occurs before VCS is brought down.
