Start-up and
Shutdown
Make sure that an archive is not being reconfigured before an
attempt is made to bring down VolServ. VolServ aborts a
termination request if an archive is being reconfigured.
The Volume Server System console is not brought down by
this procedure. The console display can remain in place
throughout a VolServ software termination and restart. When
VolServ is terminated, the only operation available via the
Volume Server System console is the configure/reconfigure
archive operation.

Step 1. Login as vsadm or as root.
Step 2. Send a warning message to all users to inform them
of an impending VolServ software shutdown.
It is recommended that the message specify the time
when VolServ will be shutdown.
Step 3. Issue volserv -t from the command line at or
later than the time specified in the earlier warning
message.
Note
New client interface commands are not accepted after
the termination sequence starts.
