How can i stop Solr without stopping the WebSphere Commerce Test Server (IBM RAD)

Question

I need to test some error handling use cases in the event that the Solr server shuts down or is unreachable. On one of our testing servers i can run the stopServer script passing in the indentifier for the Solr server. I have tried using the same .bat version of that script locally, but it seems there is no separate profile for Solr.

Is there a way to stop Solr only (ie. the WC instance is still running as is Apache) in RAD, either through the Admin Console, CLI script, or some other UI interface?

In the WebSphere Commerce Developer, I don't believe you can do it since it's not the server deployment where it's in it's own profile. Nevertheless, I haven't tried it but I think what you can do is block the communication ports (on server its 3737).
