HP Integrity rx8620 Server User Service Guide

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: 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 down server hardware or put an
nPartition into a shutdown for reconfig state): 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): 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
To shut down the Red Hat Linux or the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server operating system, use the
shutdown command.
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 powers down server hardware, or puts
the nPartition into a shutdown for reconfig state.
To manually power on or power off server hardware, use the PE command at the MP
Command menu.
-r
Reboot after shutdown.
-c
Cancel an already running shutdown.
time When to shut down. (Required.) time can be specified in any of the following ways:
• Absolute time in the format hh:mm, in which hh is the hour (one or two digits) and
mm is the minute of the hour (two digits).
• Number of minutes to wait in the format +m, in which m is the number of minutes.
• now to immediately shut down; this is equivalent to using +0 to wait zero minutes.
For details, see the shutdown(8) Linux manpage. Also refer to the Linux mapage for the poweroff
command.
NOTE: You can configure the nPartition behavior when an OS is shutdown and halted
(shutdown -h or poweroff). The two options are to have hardware power off when the OS
is halted, or to have the nPartition be made inactive (all cells are in a boot-is-blocked state).
The normal behavior for Red Hat Linux or SuSE Linux Enterprise Server shutdown and halt is
for the nPartition to be made inactive.
For details see “ACPI “Softpowerdown” Configuration OS Shutdown Behavior” (page 204).
Procedure E-10 Linux Shutdown
To shut down the operating system, issue the shutdown command from the command line for
Red Hat Linux or SuSE Linux Enterprise Server.
1. Log in to Linux running on the system you want to shut down.
2. Issue the shutdown command with the desired command-line options, and include the
required time argument to specify when the operating shutdown is to occur.
For example, shutdown -r +20 will shutdown and reboot the system starting in twenty
minutes.
