Stopping the integrated server and other application servers
If you have System i™ integration with BladeCenter® and System x™ installed, vary it off before you begin the i5/OS® installation process. Other applications servers should be stopped before you upgrade your software.
If your system has an active integrated server, it can cause the installation process to fail. Stopping the system also stops the operating system and any applications that are running on the system.
As a precaution, record the associated resources for your hardware. For these instructions, refer to the topic Upgrade the integrated server side of IBM i5/OS Integrated Server Support .
Notify users before you stop the integrated server. The Checklist: Completing the i5/OS upgrade or replacement contains instructions on starting the server after you have completed your installation.
To stop the integrated server, do the following:
- Type GO NWSADM on an i5/OS control language (CL) command line. The Network Server Administration display appears.
- Select option 3 (Stop a network server).
Other application servers, such as Lotus® Domino® Enterprise Server for AS/400® (5769-LNT), should be stopped before upgrading your software.
