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.
