Force a DSA to Stop Using the DSA Console

If you need to stop a DSA that has a multiwrite queue and Wait for Multiwrite is selected, use the force-shutdown command from the DSA console. This command stops a DSA even if it has multiwrite queues, and discards the items in the queues.

Note: We strongly recommend that you do not use a force stop in a production environment.

To force a DSA to stop using the DSA console

1. Use Telnet to connect to the DSA that you want to stop.
2. Enter the following command:

   force-shutdown;
   

   The DSA stops and any multiwrite queues are lost.
