Stop all applications on the client

This topic provides describes how to stop all applications (including SAN File System) on the Windows® client.

Context

All applications that are currently running on the SAN File System client need to be stopped. For applications other than the SAN File System, refer to the documentation that comes with the application for information about stopping it.

The SAN File System client for Windows automatically starts when you boot the client. You must modify the registry to disable the automatic restart.

Steps

  1. Start the registry editor.
    c:\>regedit
  2. Edit the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\STFS\Start
  3. Change the value of this key from 2 (the default) to 3, which stops the SAN File System client from starting when you boot the client.
  4. Reboot the client
