HP Integrity rx7620 Server - User Service Guide, Sixth Edition

The Windows shutdown command includes the following options:
/s Shut down the system. This is the equivalent of Start—>Shut Down, Shut down.
/r Shut down and restart the system. This is the equivalent of Start—>Shut Down,
Restart.
/a Abort a system shutdown.
/t xxx Set the timeout period before shutdown to xxx seconds. The timeout period can
be 0–600, with a default of 30.
For details, see the help shutdown Windows command.
NOTE: Performing a shutdown using shutdown /s (or the equivalent Start—>Shut Down,
Shut down) powers off the server cabinet or powers off the cells and I/O chassis assigned to the
nPartition. This behavior can be customized. For details see “ACPI “Softpowerdown”
Configuration - OS Shutdown Behavior” (page 206).
Procedure D-9 Windows Shutdown From the Command Line
From the Windows command line, issue the shutdown command to shut down the operating
system.
1. Login to Windows running on the system that you want to shut down.
For example, access the system console and use the Windows SAC interface to start a
command prompt, from which you can issue Windows commands to shut down the system.
2. Check to see whether any users are logged in.
Use the query user or query session command.
3. Issue the shutdown command and the appropriate options to shut down the Windows
Server 2003 on the system.
You have the following options when shutting down Windows:
• To shut down Windows and reboot: use shutdown /r or select the Start —> Shut
Down action and choose Restart from the pull-down menu.
• To shut down Windows and not reboot (either power off server hardware or put an
nPartition into a shutdown for reconfig state): use shutdown /s or select the Start
—> Shut Down action and choose Shut down from the pull-down menu.
• To abort a shutdown (stop a shutdown that has been initiated): use shutdown /a
For example:
shutdown /r /t 60 /c "Shut down in one minute."
This command initiates a Windows system shutdown-and-reboot after a timeout period of
60 seconds. The /c option specifies a message that is broadcast to any other users of the
system.
Shutting Down Linux
Use the shutdown command to shut down the Red Hat Linux or the SuSE Linux Enterprise
Server operating system.
The Red Hat Linux and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server shutdown command includes the following
options:
-h
Halt after shutdown.
On nPartition-capable HP Integrity servers, this will either power off server hardware
or put the nPartition into a shutdown for reconfigure state.
Use the PE command at the MP Command menu to manually power on or power off
server hardware, as needed.
-r
Reboot after shutdown.
-c
Cancel an already running shutdown.
