Managing Shared Disks

Stopping Virtual Shared Disk activity

To stop activity, do the following:

1. Shut down any applications that might use any virtual shared disks or hashed shared disks that are to be removed.
2. If you are removing the virtual shared disks or hashed shared disks and you need the data, back it up.
3. Stop virtual shared disk activity on the server node and any node that serves as a backup for the volume groups being served by this node.
   • Click on the virtual shared disk server node in the Nodes pane
   • If the IBM Recoverable Virtual Shared Disk subsystem is running, click on Actions>Control RVSD Subsystem... >Stop>OK

     Alternatively, you can use the command ha.vsd stop.

   • If the IBM Recoverable Virtual Shared Disk subsystem is not running click on Actions>Change VSDs State.... Then select the virtual shared disks to stop and click on Stopped>OK

     Alternatively, you can use the suspendvsd and stopvsd commands.

See the book PSSP: Command and Technical Reference for syntax of the commands.
