LATCP STOP NODE — VMS 5.4
Shuts down the LAT port driver and terminates all active sessions for
all links or for a specified Ethernet link(s) on your node.
Use the following recommended procedures to stop the LAT port driver
with STOP NODE:
1. Since active connections are disconnected without warning, use
the DCL REPLY command to issue warnings to LAT users that they
should log off the service node. Do this before issuing the STOP
command.
If the node is to be down for a long period, then tell the user
when the node will be back up.
2. In response to the LCP> prompt, issue the LATCP command SET NODE
node-name /IDENTIFICATION="identification-string". In the
identification string, announce the reason for the shutdown to
the LAT server(s).
3. Issue the LATCP STOP NODE command.
The STOP NODE command stops the LAT port driver on all links if you
do not specify a link or only on one particular link that you specify
by using the /LINK qualifier. STOP NODE clears your service node
characteristics. If you want your service node characteristics to
have the characteristics that were in effect before you stopped the
driver, do not use the START NODE command after issuing STOP NODE.
Instead, invoke the SYS$MANAGER:LTLOAD.COM command procedure.
Alternatively, you can set up your node characteristics manually with
the SET NODE and SET SERVICE commands.
Format:
STOP NODE
Additional information available:
/LINK
/LINK=link-list Use this qualifier when you want to stop one or more links but do not want to stop the LAT port driver. To specify a list of links, enclose the list in parenthesis, and separate the link names with commas. If you use STOP NODE and do not specify any links, all defined links are stopped when the LAT port driver is stopped.
/LOG
/LOG (D) /NOLOG Specifies whether your service node outputs a confirmation message when it has completed executing this command.
