Stopping the Integrated xSeries Server for iSeries and other application servers

If you have Integrated xSeries® Server installed, you must vary it off before you begin the installation process.

If your server has an active Integrated xSeries Server for iSeries™ (formerly called Integrated Netfinity® Server), it can cause the installation process to fail. Stopping the server also stops the operating system and any applications that are running on the server.

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 xSeries Server. The Checklist: Completing the upgrade or replacement contains instructions on starting the server after you have completed your installation.

To stop the Integrated xSeries Server, do the following:

  1. Type GO NWSADM on an i5/OS™ control language (CL) command line. The Network Server Administration display appears.
  2. 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.
