Shutting Down Microsoft Windows
Shut down the Windows operating system on HP Integrity servers by using the Start menu or the shutdown
command.
CAUTION Do not shut down Windows using Special Administration Console (SAC) restart or shutdown
commands under normal circumstances.
Issuing restart or shutdown at the SAC> prompt causes the server to restart or shutdown
immediately and can result in the loss of data.
Instead use the Windows Start menu or the shutdown command to shut down gracefully.
To shut down Windows use either of the following methods.
•Choose
Shut Down from the Start menu and choose either Restart or Shut down from the pull-down menu.
The
Restart menu item shuts down and restarts the server. The Shut down menu item shuts down the
server.
You can use this method when using a graphical interface to the server.
•Issue the shutdown command from the Windows command line.
See “Log in to Windows running on the server that you want to shut down.” on page 156 for details.
You can issue this command from a command prompt through the Special Administration Console (SAC)
or from any other command line.
The Windows shutdown command includes the following options:
/s Shuts down and halts (power off) the server. This is the equivalent of
Start—>Shut Down,
Shut down
. To power on the server, use the management processor PC command.
/r Shuts down and restarts the server. This is the equivalent of
Start—>Shut Down, Restart.
/a Aborts a server shutdown.
/t
xxx
Sets the timeout period before shutdown to
xxx
seconds. The timeout period ranges
from 0–600, with a default of 30.
See the help shutdown Windows command for details.
