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 system 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 system. The Shut down menu item shuts down the
system.
You can use this method when using a graphical interface to the system.
• Issue the shutdown command from the Windows command line.
Refer to “Log in to Windows running on the system that you want to shut down.” on page 95 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 system. This is the equivalent of
Start—>Shut
Down, Shut down
. To power on the system, use the iLO MP PC command.
/r Shuts down and restarts the system. This is the equivalent of
Start—>Shut Down, Restart.
/a Aborts a system shutdown.
/t xxx Sets the timeout period before shutdown to xxx seconds. The timeout period ranges
from 0–600, with a default of 30.
Refer to the help shutdown Windows command for details.
