Some maintenance procedures require you to stop a single service while keeping other services on the grid node running. Only stop individual services when directed to do so by a maintenance procedure.
You must have the Passwords.txt file.
When you use these steps to “administratively stop” a service, Server Manager will not automatically restart the service. You must either start the single service manually or restart Server Manager.
If you need to stop the LDR service on a Storage Node, be aware that it might take a while to stop the service if there are active connections.
