6.6.0.1.6: Starting and stopping resources
To start or stop a resource:
- Locate the resource in the tree view or details view.
- Do one of the following:
- Select an action from the Console menu on the menu bar
- Select an action from the right-click menu of the resource
Actions pertaining to starting and stopping resources
can include the following. See below for restrictions.
- Start
- Changes the resource to running state.
- Restart
- Stops a resource, then returns the resource to the state it was in
before it (or its parent resource) was stopped.
For example, suppose you performed Stop for Restart (or just
Restart) on a running administrative server node containing
application server "A" in the stopped state and application server "B"
in the running state. The Restart command would cause application
server A to remain stopped. It would return application server B to
the running state, along with the administrative server.
- Stop
- Stops the resource.
For an administrative server node, this action stops the administrative
server running on the node. It does not shut down the operating system.
- Stop for Restart
- Stops a resource and any resources contained by the resource, in
preparation for the Restart command.
It can be useful for stopping and restarting an administrative server
that contains multiple application servers, some of which are running
and others of which are stopped. Using a combination of Stop for
Restart and then Restart will return the application
servers to their former states (stopped or running) when the administrative
server is restarted.
- Force Stop
- Stops the resource when the regular Stop action is ineffective. Use
the option when the administrative server or other resource is in a strange state
and cannot be stopped using the ordinary Stop action.
Notes and restrictions
Not all resources can be started or stopped. Depending on the resource type, all, some,
or none of the actions might be available. Options could be unavailable (grayed out or
omitted entirely) for resources that cannot be started or stopped, or are presently in
the wrong state to be started or stopped. For example, trying to stop an already
stopped resource is not a valid action.
