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 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 the procedure “Windows Shutdown from the Command Line” (page 128) 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.

Refer to 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. On these servers you can

customize this behavior. For details refer to “ACPI Softpowerdown Configuration—OS Shutdown

Behavior” (page 93).

On HP Integrity Superdome servers, the Windows shutdown /s command shuts down the

system and keeps all cells at BIB (the boot-is-blocked, inactive state).

Procedure 5-21 Windows Shutdown from the Command Line

From the Windows command line, issue the shutdown command to shut down the OS.
