 +===== What is a SSP ? =====
 +
 +It can be compared to a datastore into the VMware world, with some differences
 +
 +{{:​aix:​vios_ssp01.png?​800|}}
 +
 +===== Stop/start a cluster SSP =====
 +
 +To take a node offline for maintenance,​ type the command as follows:
 +<cli prompt='​$'>​
 +$ clstartstop -stop -n clustername -m nodeA
 +</​cli>​
 +To bring the node back online after maintenance is completed, type the command as follows:
 +<cli prompt='​$'>​
 +$ clstartstop -start -n clustername -m nodeA
 +</​cli>​
 +To take all the nodes offline for maintenance,​ type the command as follows:
 +<cli prompt='​$'>​
 +$ clstartstop -stop -n clustername -a
 +</​cli>​
 +To bring all the nodes back online after maintenance is completed, type the command as follows:

 +===== Removing Shared Storage Pool (SSP) Node From SSP Cluster With Mappings =====
 +
 +https://​www.ibm.com/​support/​pages/​removing-shared-storage-pool-ssp-node-ssp-cluster-mappings
 +
 +===== Node Types (roles) In Shared Storage Pool Cluster =====
 +
 +In a SSP cluster, some nodes perform key roles handled in certain layers. These layers are classified as:
 +  * Cluster Aware AIX (CAA)
 +  * Database (DBN)
 +  * Message Format Service (MFS)
 +
 +=== How to determine current CAA LEADER node === 
 +
 +<cli prompt='#'>​
 +$ oem_setup_env
 +# pooladm dump node | grep -i leader
 +            whichever one returns "​amILeader=1"​ is the leader node.
