Stop All Applications
Stop All Applications
Before running ZPHIRNM:
1. Stop DSM/SCM if it is still running. For example:
> VOLUME $dsmscm_vol.ZDSMSCM
> Run STOPSCM
STOP CNFGINFO server process $ZPHC
STOP DSM/SCM Pathway system $YPHI
PATHCOM $YPHI;SHUTDOWN !,WAIT
$Z02H: TCP TCP-H, STOPPED
$Z02H: TCP TCP-T, STOPPED
STOP DSM/SCM Alternate EMS Collector $ZPHI
where $dsmscm_vol is the DSM/SCM volume.
2. Stop all other applications, except for TMF and the OSS file system.
The NonStop Server S-Series Operations Guide contains detailed information on
stopping applications, devices, and processes in an orderly fashion.
Drain the Spooler
Always use the SPOOLCOM;SPOOLER,DRAIN command to perform an orderly
shutdown of the spooler. Failure to do so can cause problems during a warm start of
the spooler.
Before executing the SPOOLCOM;SPOOLER,DRAIN command:
1. Use the SPOOLCOM;COLLECT $collector-process, LISTOPENS command
to identify processes that currently have jobs open.
2. Use the SPOOLCOM;JOB (STATE PRINT) command to determine which jobs are
currently printing.
Take the appropriate action to ensure that these jobs either terminate when finished or
are stopped.
After receiving the SPOOLER DRAIN command, the supervisor stops accepting jobs
for collection or printing (new opens are rejected with a file-system error 66—device
downed). Each collector stops when it has no more open jobs. Each print process
finishes printing any active jobs and then stops.
After all collectors and print processes have stopped, the supervisor process stops
itself. The spooler enters the dormant state, ready to be warm started.
Note. Your site might have macros or OSS shell scripts set up to start and stop applications,
devices, and processes.
Caution. Never use the TACL STOP command to halt the spooler. The control file can be
corrupted during the next warmstart or rebuild.
