STOP SERVER Command
STOP SERVER Command
The STOP SERVER command terminates the operation of a SERVER object in a
controlled manner. The STOP SERVER command does not abruptly terminate in-
progress activities. When the operation is complete, the SERVER object is in the
STOPPED summary state.
The STOP SERVER command has the following syntax:
SERVER server-name
specifies the name of the SERVER object whose operation is to be terminated.
ORDERLY
specifies that the STOP operation rejects all new requests, and waits for all active
links to be dropped before terminating the object. If you omit the ORDERLY or
FORCED option, the STOP operation succeeds only if no active NFS requests exist
when you issue the command.
FORCED
specifies that the STOP operation rejects all new requests, and aborts all active NFS
requests before terminating the object. If you omit the ORDERLY or FORCED
option, the STOP operation succeeds only if no active NFS requests exist when you
issue the command.
SEL [ NOT ] state
specifies the summary state select option. You can use the SEL option to specify
that you want to abort only SERVER objects in the STARTED summary state.
Considerations
Consider the following points when using the STOP SERVER command:
•
STOP SERVER is a sensitive command requiring super-group access or super-ID
access if NULL-ALIAS-OK and ROOT-USER-OK are TRUE.
•
When you stop a SERVER object, it must be in the STARTED summary state.
•
To stop a SERVER object immediately, despite active NFS requests, use the
ABORT SERVER command.
•
The STOP SERVER command clears the RESTART attribute. The RESTART
attribute determines whether or not a subsequent START SUBSYS command
initiates an attempt to restart the stopped SERVER object. The STOP SERVER
command should only be used in situations where you will not want to restart the
same configuration of LAN interface and server processes that are currently
