To Stop a Domain (or Server)

Stopping a domain shuts down its domain administration server (DAS). When stopping a domain, the DAS stops accepting new connections and then waits for all outstanding connections to complete. This shutdown process takes a few seconds. While the domain is stopped, the Administration Console and most of the asadmin commands cannot be used.

For Microsoft Windows, you can use an alternate method to stop a domain. From the Start menu, select Programs -> Sun Microsystems -> Enterprise Server -> Stop Admin Server.

1. If necessary, notify users that you are going to stop the domain.

2. Stop the domain by using the stop-domain(1) command.
