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.
To use this command, you must be logged into the master metadata server and the master metadata server must be running.
This command does not shut down the engine on which the specified metadata server runs and does not remove the metadata server from the cluster.
When you stop the master metadata server using the stopserver command, the subordinate metadata servers are abruptly moved to the JOINING state. When you stop all of the metadata server in the cluster using the stopcluster command, all of metadata servers are brought down gracefully.
When you stop a metadata server using the stopserver command, the metadata server restart service on that metadata server is changed to the STANDBY state only if metadata server restart service was previously in the ON state.
