Investigate Product-Specific Techniques
Certain products provide commands that can reduce the time required to start up or
shut down their services. For example, the HP NonStop TS/MP product provides the
COOL START option and the SHUTDOWN2 command to shorten startup and
shutdown times, respectively. Using the COOL START option, rather than COLD
START, to restart an existing transaction-processing system is much faster. The
SHUTDOWN2 command is faster and more reliable than the SHUTDOWN command.
Both of these techniques are described in the TS/MP System Management Manual.
Familiarize yourself with the products and applications that run on your system to
identify time-saving techniques for speeding startup and shutdown operations. Refer
to the relevant documentation.
