| Disable and enable client node access to the server | System or operator |
| Display server status | Any administrator |
Disabling new client sessions prevents users from establishing client node sessions with the server. This command does not affect current client sessions in progress or system processes like migration and reclamation. To disable client node access to the server, enter:
disable sessions
When you disable client sessions from the server, administrators can still access it, and current client node activity completes unless the user logs off or you cancel the client node session.
After the client sessions have been disabled, you can enable client sessions and resume normal operations by entering:
enable sessions
You can issue the QUERY STATUS command to determine if the server is enabled or disabled.
