Quiescing and unquiescing instances

You can use the Quiesce window to force users off an instance, except the user or group that you specify. You can use the Unquiesce menu option to return an instance to an active state so that all users can access the instance.

• To quiesce an instance using the Control Center:
  1. Open the Quiesce window: Expand the object tree until you find the instance that you want to quiesce. Right-click the instance and select Quiesce from the pop-up menu. The Quiesce window opens.
  2. Specify whether you want to allow a user or a group to access the instance. If you are allowing a user to attach to the instance, use the User controls to specify a specific user. If you are allowing a group to attach to the instance, use the Group controls to specify a specific group.
  When you click OK, the Quiesce window closes and the instance is quiesced. Only the specified user or group will be able to attach to the quiesced instance until either the instance is unquiesced or stopped.
• To unquiesce an instance using the Control Center:
  1. Expand the object tree until you find the instance that you want to unquiesce.
  2. Right-click the instance and select Unquiesce from the pop-up menu. The instance will be unquiesced immediately.
