Stop Database

This tool stops a running database.

  1. Use View Database Cluster State to make sure that all nodes are up. If not all nodes are up, see Restarting a Node.
  2. Make sure that there are no open connections to the database. On each host:

    $ netstat | grep 5433

    tcp 0 0 host01:5433 host01:33558 ESTABLISHED

    tcp 0 0 host01:33558 host01:5433 ESTABLISHED

  3. On the Main Menu, select Stop Database.

  4. Confirm that you want to stop the currently running database.

  5. Enter the password if asked.

    Enter the password for database

    The Administration Tools maintain a session context with regard to password authentication. In other words, you are required to enter a password for a database once per Administration Tools session. If you enter it correctly, you will not be asked to enter it again until the next time you run the Administration Tools. If you enter an incorrect password you must exit the Administration Tools and run it again.

  6. This message confirms that the database has been successfully stopped.
