Stopping the Cluster Server high availability daemon on the systems in a cluster

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
In the Management Server console, you can stop the Cluster Server high availability daemon (HAD) on the selected systems, or on all systems in a cluster. You may want to stop the Cluster Server high availability daemon (HAD) on the systems in case of a maintenance operation for the devices.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the cluster or the Availability perspective. The permission on the cluster may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.

  1. In the Management Server console, go to the Availability perspective and selectManage in the left pane.
  2. Expand the Organization or Uncategorized Clusters to locate the cluster.
  3. Right-click on the cluster and select Stop VCS.
  4. In the Stop VCS wizard panel, do the following:
    • To stop the Cluster Server HAD on a specific system, select the system. Choose All Systems to stop the Cluster Server HAD on all systems in the cluster.
    • To force the Cluster Server HAD to stop without stopping the applications or service groups that are running on the systems, select Force.
    • Click OK.
  5. In the Result panel, click OK.
