You must have Operator or Administrator privileges to use the command.

You must be logged in to the operating system on the engine hosting the master metadata server to run this command.

Description

This command does not shut down the engine on which the specified metadata server runs.

Tip: Before you use the stopcluster command, you can quiesce the cluster. Use the quiescecluster command to change the state of all metadata servers in the cluster to one of three quiescent states.
