How do I stop an auxiliary database cluster?

Purpose
CAUTION 

CAUTION

Service disruption

Stopping an auxiliary database cluster requires a shutdown of each associated main and auxiliary server, and may be service-affecting.

Perform the procedure only if required, and only during a scheduled maintenance period.

Note: The main and auxiliary servers named in the procedure are in the local NFM-P system that includes the auxiliary database cluster.

Perform this procedure to stop the auxiliary database software on all stations in an auxiliary database cluster, for example, for maintenance purposes.

 
1 

Perform the following steps on each NFM-P auxiliary server station to stop the server.

  1. Log in to the station as the nsp user.

  2. Open a console window.

  3. Enter the following:

    bash$ cd /opt/nsp/nfmp/auxserver/nms/bin ↵

  4. Enter the following:

    bash$ ./auxnmsserver.bash auxstop ↵

  5. Enter the following to display the auxiliary server status:

    bash$ ./auxnmsserver.bash auxappserver_status ↵

    The server status is displayed; the server is fully stopped if the status is the following:

    Auxiliary Server is stopped

    If the server is not fully stopped, wait five minutes and then repeat this step. Do not perform the next step until the server is fully stopped.

Perform the following steps on each NFM-P main server station to stop the server.

Note: In a redundant system, you must perform the steps on the standby main server first.

  1. Log in to the station as the nsp user.

  2. Open a console window.

  3. Enter the following:

    bash$ cd /opt/nsp/nfmp/server/nms/bin ↵

  4. Enter the following

    bash$ ./nmsserver.bash stop ↵

  5. Enter the following to display the NFM-P server status:

    bash$ ./nmsserver.bash appserver_status ↵

    The server status is displayed; the server is fully stopped if the status is the following:

    Application Server is stopped

    If the server is not fully stopped, wait five minutes and then repeat this step. Do not perform the next step until the server is fully stopped.

3 

Log in to any auxiliary database station in the cluster as the root user.

4 

Enter the following:

# /opt/nsp/nfmp/auxdb/install/bin/auxdbAdmin.sh stop ↵

You are prompted to enter the database user password.

5 

Enter the password. The auxiliary database stops.

6 

Close the console window.
