# Domains: Control: Servers

Buttons Column Display Related Tasks Related Topics

Use this page to change the state of the servers in this WebLogic Server domain. Control operations on Managed Servers require starting the Node Manager. Starting Managed Servers in Standby mode requires the domain-wide administration port.

#### Column Display

You can show fewer or additional data points on this page by expanding Customize this table and modifying the Column Display list. Each data point displays in its own table column.

The following table lists all of the data points that you can display in columns on this page.

Name | Description

#### Buttons

Name | Description
--- | ---
Start | Moves server instances from the `SHUTDOWN` state to `RUNNING.`
Resume | Moves server instances from the `STANDBY` or the `ADMIN` state to `RUNNING`.
Suspend servers when work completes | Moves server instances from the `RUNNING` state to the `ADMIN` state, allowing work in process to be handled gracefully. While in the `SUSPENDING` state, Work Managers complete in-flight processing for pending work in application threads.
Forcibly suspend servers | Immediately moves server instances from the `RUNNING` state to the `ADMIN` state, without handling work in process gracefully.
Shutdown servers when work completes | Gracefully stops server instances in the domain. New requests are rejected but in-work requests are completed before the server stops.
Forcibly shutdown servers | Immediately stops server instances in the domain. In-work requests are dropped, no new requests are accepted, and the server immediately stops.
Restart SSL | Restarts the SSL listen sockets so that keystore changes take effect.
