Stop Data Collector

Stop the Data Collector services on the current host before moving Data Collector to another host.

      The Data Aggregator Admin UI opens.

      Note: This archive file is moved to the new Data Collector host later on.

2. Log on to the Data Collector host and run the following command:

   /etc/init.d/dcmd stop
