Shutting Down Microsoft Windows
You can shut down the Windows OS on HP Integrity servers 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 shut down
immediately and can result in the loss of data.
Instead, use the Windows Start menu or the shutdown command to shut down without loss of
data.
To shut down Windows use either of the following methods.
• Select Shut Down from the Start menu, and select either Restart or Shut down from the
drop-down menu.
Selecting the Restart menu item shuts down and restarts the system. Selecting the Shut down
menu item shuts down the system.
You can use this method when using the Windows graphical interface.
• Issue the shutdown command from the Windows command line.
See the procedure “Windows Shutdown from the Command Line” (page 99) 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 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
range from 0–600, with a default of 30.
See the help shutdown Windows command for details.
NOTE: On HP rx7620, rx7640, rx8620, and rx8640 servers, 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. You can customize this behavior.
For details, see “ACPI Softpowerdown Configuration—OS Shutdown Behavior” (page 79).
On HP Integrity Superdome servers, the Windows shutdown /s command shuts down the system
and keeps all cells at the boot-is-blocked (BIB) inactive state.
Procedure 16 Windows Shutdown from the Command Line
