Stop Cache

You can stop a clustered cache on all the nodes altogether or stop it on a specific node.

Stop Cache on all Server Nodes

From the Cache Explorer view, right click the clustered cache on which you want to stop the cache.
Click on the Stop option.
This will stop the demoClusteredCache on all the server nodes added in this cache. If cache is stopped successfully, then the color all of the server nodes change to black, like this:

Stopping Cache on a Particular Server Node

Using NCache Manager

From the Cache Explorer view, right click on the server name under Server Nodes tree node, on which you want to start the cache.
Click on the Stop option in the right click menu.

This will stop the demoClusteredCache on the selected node. Icon color of the selected node changes to black if cache is stopped successfully on it, like this:

./media/image4.png

Warning

You can stop a node gracefully using Graceful Stop option. Graceful stop makes sure that all of the queued operations are performed before cache is stopped.

Using Windows PowerShell

Stop-Cache cmdlet enables users to stop the cache.

The following command stops the cache named demoClusteredCache on the specified server '20.200.21.95'.
