Starting and Stopping the Sun Cluster Quorum Server Software

These procedures describe how to start and stop the Sun Cluster Quorum Server software.

By default, these procedures start and stop a single default quorum server unless you have customized the content of the quorum server configuration file, /etc/scqsd/scqsd.conf. The default quorum server is bound on port 9000 and uses the /var/scqsd directory for quorum information.

For information about customizing the quorum server startup file, see Configuring Multiple Quorum Servers on the Same Host.

How to Start a Quorum Server

1. Become superuser on the host where you want to start the Sun Cluster Quorum Server software.

2. Use the clquorumserver start command to start the software.

   # /usr/cluster/bin/clquorumserver start quorumserver

   quorumserver

   Identifies the quorum server. You can use the port number on which the quorum server listens. If you provided an instance name in the configuration file, you can use the name instead.

   To start a single quorum server, provide either the instance name or port number. To start all quorum servers, when you have multiple quorum servers configured, use the + operand.

Example 2–1 Starting All Configured Quorum Servers

The following example starts all the configured quorum servers.

# /usr/cluster/bin/clquorumserver start +

Example 2–2 Starting a Specific Quorum Server

The following example starts the quorum server that listens on port number 2000.

# /usr/cluster/bin/clquorumserver start 2000

How to Stop a Quorum Server

1. Become superuser on the host where you want to start the Sun Cluster Quorum Server software.

2. Use the clquorumserver stop command to stop the software.

   # /usr/cluster/bin/clquorumserver stop quorumserver

   quorumserver

   Identifies the quorum server. You can use the port number on which the quorum server listens. If you provided an instance name in the configuration file, you can use that name instead.

   To stop a single quorum server, provide either the instance name or port number. To stop all quorum servers, when you have multiple quorum servers configured, use the + operand.

Example 2–3 Stopping All Configured Quorum Servers

The following example stops all the configured quorum servers.

# /usr/cluster/bin/clquorumserver stop +

Example 2–4 Stopping a Specific Quorum Server

The following example stops the quorum server that listens on port number 2000.

# /usr/cluster/bin/clquorumserver stop 2000
