Stopping an N1 node
The N+1 Status dialog box gives you a visual display of current status of the N+1 configuration.
To stop an N+1 node:
1. On the N + 1 menu, click Status.
2. Click the List tab to view a display of the System Backup Summary information, sorted by node.
3. To stop a node (stop the DS-System service on that node), select the node you want and click Stop Node. The Stop N+1 Node dialog box appears.
4. Select how to handle current activities on the DS-System:
• Wait for all running activities to complete: Stops the DS-System on the selected node after all the current activities have completed. No new activities will be allowed once you click OK.
• Stop when all activities complete or force stop after [...] minute(s): Stops the DS-System on the selected node after all the current activities have completed, or force a stop after the specified time has elapsed. No new activities will be allowed once you click OK.
5. Click OK.
IMPORTANT: Once you stop a node, it cannot be restarted from DS-Operator. If you stop the node that is currently the DS-Director, the N+1 will have to reform.
You can view the change in the N+1 Status dialog box.
