Stopping clusters using the job manager
In a flexible management environment, you can submit the Stop cluster job to stop a running cluster that is on a managed target of the job manager.
Before you begin
Start the job manager if it is not running already.
To submit the Stop cluster job, the deployment manager node on which the cluster resides must be a managed target of the job manager. The cluster must be running.
Your ID at the job manager must be authorized for the administrator role or the operator role to submit jobs. When you submit a job, you can specify a user name and password for authentication and authorization at the target or targets. When you submit a job to multiple targets, the user name and password or the credentials for the submitter must be applicable to all the job targets.
About this task
You can use the administrative console of the job manager or the deployment manager to stop clusters on one or more managed targets. From the console, choose the Stop cluster job, specify job options, review the summary, and submit the job.
Instead of using a console, you can run the stopCluster job script in the AdministrativeJobs command group. See the Administrative job types topic.
