Changes the state of all metadata servers in the cluster to one of three quiescent states.
>>-quiescecluster--+----------+-- –state--+-full----+-------->< +- –?----+ +-offline-+ +- –h----+ '-part----' '- –help-'
You would put the cluster in this state to produce self-consistent LUN-based backups for a known FlashCopy® image.
You would put the cluster in this state to restrict clients from accessing the cluster.
You would put the cluster in this state to produce dirty LUN-based backups without requiring clients and applications to stop, and to allow client applications that use direct I/O (such as database servers) to back up their data.
You must have Operator or Administrator privileges to use the command.
You must be logged in to the operating system on the engine hosting the master metadata server to run this command.
You can use the resumecluster command to return all the metadata servers in the cluster to the online state.
