Stopping a Node or Cluster

Shut down the nodes in a cluster.

Prerequisites

SAP recommends that you stop all projects running in the cluster. Stopping a node this way does not stop any projects running on the node unless the node is the only manager node.

Task

To stop a cluster, shut down the controller-only nodes first, then shut down the manager nodes. Follow these steps for each node in the cluster; <node_name> represents the name of a node.

From the Windows command line, execute:

cd %ESP_HOME%\cluster\nodes\<node_name> esp_cluster_admin
--uri=esp[s]://<host>:19011 --username=<name> --password=<pass> --stop_node <node_name>

On a Linux or Solaris system, execute:

cd $ESP_HOME/cluster/nodes/<node_name> esp_cluster_admin 
--uri=esp[s]://<host>:19011 --username=<name> --password=<pass> --stop_node <node_name>

Note: These examples use the authentication syntax for LDAP or native OS. For RSA authentication, use this command:

esp_cluster_admin --uri=esp[s]://<host>:<port> --keyalias=<keyalias>
--storepass=<storepass> --keystore=<keystore> --stop_node <node_name>

Note: If you omit the password parameter when you call the esp_cluster_admin tool, Event Stream Processor prompts you for the password and hides it as you type, which improves security.
