Stop all applications on the client

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

Perform these steps to stop the SAN File System client for Linux.

Steps

  1. Verify that the SAN File System is not currently in use.
    fuser -u mount_point

    You cannot unmount the client if the SAN File System is in use.

  2. Stop and unmount the SAN File System client for Linux.
    /usr/tank/client/bin/rmstclient
    This command unmounts the global namespace, stops the client, and unloads the kernel module. It will use the configuration information stored in /usr/tank/client/config/stclient.conf.
