Stopping the HADB

When you stop and start the HADB in separate operations, data is unavailable while the HADB is stopped. To keep data available, you can restart the HADB as described in "Restarting the HADB".

You may want to stop the HADB in the following circumstances:

Before stopping the HADB, you should either stop dependent Sun Java System Application Server instances or configure them to use a different persistence method.


Note

If you stop the HADB with hadbm stop, you must start it with hadbm start, even if inetd is used, because inetd can’t start offline nodes.


To stop a database, use the hadbm stop command. The syntax is as follows:

hadbm stop [dbname]

For example:

hadbm stop

The default dbname is hadb, all lowercase. For more information about database states, see "Getting the Status of the HADB".

When you stop the database, all the running nodes in the database are stopped and the status of the database is Stopped.
