Stopping a Cluster

To stop an entire cluster:

  1. Identify which nodes are seed nodes. To do this, open the file SpectrumDirectory/server/conf/spectrum-container.properties and look at the nodes listed in the spectrum.cluster.seeds property.
  2. Stop each Spectrum Technology Platform server in the cluster, making sure that the last node you stop is a seed node.
  3. Change the working directory to the Spectrum Technology Platform server's bin directory, source the setup file, then type the following command: ./server.stop.
    Warning: To prevent loss of data when starting the cluster, the first node you start must be the last node that was stopped, and that node must be a seed node.
  4. Make a note of the last node you stopped. You will need this information when starting up the cluster.
  5. Right-click the Spectrum Technology Platform icon in the Windows system tray and select Stop Spectrum.
    Warning: To prevent loss of data when starting the cluster, the first node you start must be the last node that was stopped, and that node must be a seed node.
