Start or stop a zone

You can start or stop a zone by using SQL statements or on OCP.

Start or stop a zone by using SQL statements

You can start a zone in a cluster to enable the physical servers in the zone to provide services externally, or stop the zone to disable the physical servers from providing services externally.

The syntax of the statement for starting or stopping a zone is as follows, where the zone_name parameter specifies the name of the target zone:

ALTER SYSTEM {START|STOP|FORCE STOP} ZONE zone_name;

Example 1 : Start Zone1 in the cluster.

obclient> ALTER SYSTEM START ZONE Zone1;

Example 2 : Stop Zone1 in the cluster.

obclient> ALTER SYSTEM STOP ZONE Zone1;

Example 3 : Forcibly stop Zone1 in the cluster. Note

The FORCE STOP ZONE statement stops a zone directly without checking the synchronization of the clogs in the zone.

obclient> ALTER SYSTEM FORCE STOP ZONE Zone1;
