Shutting down a Backup Server

To shut down a Backup Server, include the Backup Server name:

shutdown SYB_BACKUP

The default is with wait, so any dumps or loads in progress complete before the Backup Server process halts. After you issue a shutdown command, no new dump or load sessions can be started on the Backup Server.

To see the names of the Backup Servers that are accessible from your Adaptive Server, execute sp_helpserver. Use the value in the name column in the shutdown command. You can shut down a Backup Server only if it is:

Use sp_addserver to add a Backup Server to sysservers.
