inactivate_protection_domain

Inactivate the specified protection domain. Using this command is an effective way to shut down nodes and is preferable to shutting them down manually.

NOTE:When you inactivate a protection domain, the data remains on the SDSs. It is preferable to remove a protection domain if you no longer need it.

When this feature is in effect, the system may perform the following activities in the background:

  • Determine whether there are any current rebuild/rebalance activities taking place. If so, the shutdown is delayed (unless it is forced) until they are finished.
  • Block future rebuild/rebalance activities.
  • Pause application I/O and disable access to volumes.
  • Move the DRL mode of all SDSs to harden in preparation for rebooting the server.
  • Reload all SDSs before re-enabling data access.

Syntax

scli --inactivate_protection_domain (--protection_domain_id <ID> | --protection_domain_name <NAME>) 
  [--force_inactivate]
  [--i_am_sure]

--protection_domain_id <ID>
