Stopping a service

Before you begin

You must be a cluster administrator. A service must be started or frozen before you can stop it.

About this task

You can stop a service that is running or is frozen. We do not recommend stopping any system services.

Procedure

From the cluster management console Dashboard, select System & Services > EGO Services > Service Profiles.

The Services page displays.
In your consumer tree, navigate to the location where the service you want to start is registered or see a list of all registered services by clicking the cluster name.
For the service you want to stop, click Actions and then select Stop.
Click OK to confirm that you want to stop that service.

Stop a service manually

Before you begin

You must be logged on as a cluster administrator.

About this task

You may need to stop your own (non-EGO) service. This can only be done manually from the command line.

Important:

Do not stop system services. These services are controlled by LIM, which starts and maintains them automatically. Your cluster does not function properly if these services are not running. System services include WEBGUI and SD.

Procedure

From the command line, run egosh service view to see the current status of your services.
If the service you want to stop has the status INIT, ALLOCATING, STARTED, or FROZEN, you can proceed to the next step to stop it manually.

Note: When you stop a service in the FROZEN state, all slots allocated to the service are released and all corresponding service instances are killed. The service is then placed in the DEFINED state.
Run egosh service stop service_name where service_name is the name of the service you want to stop.
Your service stops.
