Use this task to stop a cluster and any application servers that are members of that cluster.
Why and when to perform this task
You can stop all application servers that are members of a cluster at the same time by stopping the cluster. That is, you can stop all application servers in a server cluster at the same time. If
you start and stop application servers that are part of a cluster using the
Windows Services facility, the cluster state does not always update correctly.
For example, if a cluster is running and you stop a cluster member through
the Services GUI, the cluster state remains as Started even though
the server is no longer running.
