Stopping NetBackup service containers
You can start and stop NetBackup services from the UI. You can perform the following operations from the UI:
Stop each NetBackup service individually.
Stop all NetBackup services for a specific node or the cluster without taking the file systems offline and unmounting the file systems.
Stop all NetBackup services for a specific node or the cluster and take the file systems offline and unmount the file systems that are used by the services.
Start the stopped services.
If you stop the catalog engine (MSDP engine service that maintains the catalog data), all the other MSDP engines become unhealthy and cause the NetBackup jobs to fail.
Note:
When you stop a NetBackup service from the UI, its state is persistent across operations such as node reboot or cluster shut down. The service remains stopped until you start the service from the UI.
To stop containers:
- Use any one of the following options to log on using the user account that you created when you configured the cluster:
