Stopping a service (clusvcadm -s) will stop the service until the next member transition. Disabling (-d) a service stops it until either quorum is broken or all instances of rgmanager have been stopped. That is, as long as one instance of rgmanager is operating and the cluster is quorate, the service will remain disabled. Disabling autostart in Conga (or setting it to 0 in cluster.conf) for a given service) means "on startup, treat this service as disabled instead of stopped". Locking rgmanager prevents failover, and is useful in mass simultaneous shutdown operations, but less so for individual services. The manual page needs updating; '-l' only needs to be done once. [one node ] clusvcadm -l [all nodes] service rgmanager stop -q = "don't print stuff" -- Lon -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
