Stop all applications on the client

This topic provides describes how to stop all applications (including SAN File System) on the AIX® 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 on AIX:

Steps

  1. Telnet to the client from the master console.
    telnet client_name
  2. Log in to the client.
  3. Determine the current mount point for the client.
    mount
  4. Verify that the SAN File System is not currently in use
    fuser -u mount_point
    Note: You cannot unmount the client if the SAN File System is in use.
  5. Stop and unmount the SAN File System client for AIX.
    /usr/tank/client/bin/rmstclient
    This command unmounts the global namespace, stops the client, and unloads the kernel module. It uses the configuration information stored in /usr/tank/client/config/stclient.conf.
  6. Verify that the client is gone. The mount point for the SAN File System should no longer be displayed.
    mount
