NOTE It is recommended to run cmhaltnode prior to running the HP-UX
shutdown command, especially for cases where a packaged application
might have trouble during shutdown and not halt cleanly.
Halting the Entire Cluster
You can use Serviceguard Manager or HP Serviceguard commands to
halt a running cluster.
Using Serviceguard Manager to Halt the Cluster
Select the cluster, then right-click to display the action menu. Select
“Halt the Cluster.” The progress window shows messages as the action
takes place. This will include messages for halting each package and
node. Click OK on the progress window when the operation is complete.
Using HP Serviceguard Commands to Halt a Cluster
The cmhaltcl command can be used to halt the entire cluster. This
command causes all nodes in a configured cluster to halt their HP
Serviceguard daemons. You can use the -f option to force the cluster to
halt even when packages are running. This command can be issued from
any running node. Example:
# cmhaltcl -f -v
This halts all nodes that are configured in the cluster.
