Stopping VCS

You can stop VCS using one of the following approaches:

• Using the installvcs -stop command
• Manually stop VCS on each node

To stop VCS

1. To stop VCS using the installvcs program, perform the following steps on any node in the cluster:
   • Log in as root user.
   • Run the following command:

     # /opt/VRTS/install/installvcs -stop

2. To stop VCS manually, run the following commands on each node in the cluster:
   • Log in as root user.
   • Take the VCS service groups offline and verify that the groups are offline.

     # hagrp -offline service_group -sys system

     # hagrp -state service_group

   • Stop the VCS engine.

     # hastop -local

     See Stopping the VCS engine and related processes

   • Verify that the VCS engine port h is closed.

     # gabconfig -a

   • Stop I/O fencing if you have configured it. Stop GAB and then LLT.

     GAB	# /etc/init.d/gab.rc stop # /etc/init.d/gab stop
     LLT	# /etc/init.d/llt.rc stop # /etc/init.d/llt stop
