The -k option takes the database
server to offline mode and removes database server shared memory.
A prompt asks for confirmation. Another prompt asks for confirmation to
kill user threads before the database server comes offline. If you want to
eliminate these prompts, execute the -y option with
the -s option.
This option does not kill all client sessions. Use the -u option to avoid hanging client sessions or virtual server processes.
Important:
When you use the onmode -k command to shut down the database server, utilities that are
waiting for a user response might not terminate. For example, ontape might be waiting for another tape, onstat -i might be waiting for a user response, or onspaces might
be waiting for y or n to continue.
If this problem occurs, use onmode -uk or -uky instead to roll back work before removing shared memory. For more
information, see the descriptions of other options on this page.
