shutdown

Use this command to shut down the Indexers running in your environment.

Note

If there are multiple Indexers instances (forming an Indexer cluster) running in your environment, then by running this command all Indexer instances are shut down.

BMC recommends that instead of stopping individual Indexers, use this command to stop the whole Indexer cluster. This is important when the Indexers in a cluster are deployed on more than one host.

Warning

Stopping the individual Indexer nodes can result in data loss and performance degradation.

When you restart an Indexer, the Indexer cluster rebalances the data collected to spread them equitably across all Indexers; this helps even the load of searches across Indexers. Rebalancing happens automatically each time an Indexer is added to the cluster.
