Examples Using STOP DISK
The following are examples of the STOP DISK command.
• To stop access to the mirror path of the $DATA01 volume, type:
-> STOP $DATA01-M
• To stop the disk $DATA00 (even if there are open files) without
further interaction with the operator, type:
-> STOP $DATA00, FORCED
STOP DISK Considerations
Before using the STOP DISK command, consider the following:
• If an attempt to stop a disk and the backup disk path is detected as
being unavailable, the disk will not be stopped.
• Avoid stopping all paths to a volume that has open object files or swap
files for currently executing processes. Close these open files by
stopping the processes that are using them before stopping the volume.
• If the FORCED attribute is not used, SCF will ask for confirmation for
any request to stop a disk when it is the last path to that volume.
• NonStop Transaction Manager/MP (TM/MP) considerations:
♦ If an attempt to stop all paths to a disk enabled by the NonStop
TM/MP product, the command is not performed and SCF displays
an error message.
♦ A volume containing active audit trails cannot be stopped.
♦ For more information about NonStop TM/MP, see the NonStop
TM/MP Reference Manual.
