Stopping Applications Not Under VCS Control

When running applications that are not under VCS control but use cluster file system mount points under VCS control, stop those applications any time you plan to stop VCS or shut down the nodes.

Stopping gsd

Stop the gsd process if it starts. As oracle user, enter the command:


 $ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/gsdctl stop

Stopping Applications using CFS (Outside of VCS Control)

Stop all other applications using the CFS mounts outside of VCS control. Ensure that no processes use the CFS mount point:


fuser -c mount_point

To stop processes using the CFS mount point, type:


fuser -ck mount_point

Unmounting CFS File Systems Outside of VCS Control

Unmount CFS file systems outside of VCS control:

  1. Determine the file systems to unmount by checking the /etc/mnttab file. For example:
      # cat /etc/mnttab | grep vxfs | grep cluster

    The output shows each line of the /etc/mnttab file that contains an entry for a VxFS file system mounted in the cluster mode.

  2. By specifying its mount point, unmount each of the file systems listed in the output:
      # umount mount_point
