Using Other Tools for Managing nPartitions nPartition-level tasks CAUTION To exit the EFI environment type ^B (Control-B); this exits the nPartition console and returns to the management processor Main Menu. To exit the management processor, type X at the Main Menu. Shutting down to shutdown for reconfig [Windows] From the Windows command line issue the /sbin/shutdown /s command (or select the Start > Shut Down action and choose Shut down from the pull-down menu) to shut an nPartition down to a shutdown for reconfig (inactive) state or power off the nPartition hardware. 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 shutdown immediately and can result in the loss of data. Instead use the Windows Start menu or the shutdown command to shut down gracefully. NOTE On HP Integrity mid-range 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 two servers the behavior can be customized. For details, see "ACPI "softpowerdown" configuration-mid-range server OS shutdown behavior" on page 56. 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). Step 1. Login to Windows running on the nPartition that you want to shut down. For example, access the nPartition console and use the Windows SAC interface to start a command prompt, from which you can issue Windows commands to shut down the nPartition. Step 2. Issue the shutdown /s command to shut down the Windows Server 2003 operating system on the nPartition and reset the nPartition to the shutdown for reconfig state. You also can perform this task by selecting the Start > Shut Down action and choosing Shut down from the pull-down menu. For example: shutdown /s /c "Shut down for reconfig (inactive)." This command initiates a Windows system shutdown-and-stop after a timeout period of 60 seconds. The /c option specifies a message that is broadcast to any other users of the system. The shutdown /s command and option shuts down Windows, reset all cells in the nPartition, perform any nPartition reconfigurations, and halt all cells at a boot-is-blocked state, thus making the nPartition and all its cells inactive. For more details use the help shutdown command. 76 Chapter 4

To exit the EFI environment type
^B
(
Control-B
); this exits the nPartition console and
returns to the management processor Main Menu. To exit the management processor,
type
X
at the Main Menu.
Shutting down to shutdown for reconfig [Windows]
From the Windows command line issue the
/sbin/shutdown /s
command (or select the
Start > Shut Down
action and choose
Shut down
from the pull-down menu) to shut an
nPartition down to a shutdown for reconfig (inactive) state or power off the nPartition
hardware.
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
shutdown immediately and can result in the loss of data.
Instead use the Windows
Start
menu or the
shutdown
command to shut down gracefully.
NOTE
On HP Integrity mid-range 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 two servers the behavior can be
customized. For details, see “ACPI “softpowerdown” configuration—mid-range server OS
shutdown behavior” on page 56.
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).
Step 1.
Login to Windows running on the nPartition that you want to shut down.
For example, access the nPartition console and use the Windows SAC interface to start a
command prompt, from which you can issue Windows commands to shut down the
nPartition.
Step 2.
Issue the
shutdown /s
command to shut down the Windows Server 2003 operating
system on the nPartition and reset the nPartition to the shutdown for reconfig state. You
also can perform this task by selecting the
Start > Shut Down
action and choosing
Shut
down
from the pull-down menu.
For example:
shutdown /s /c "Shut down for reconfig (inactive)."
This command initiates a Windows system shutdown-and-stop after a timeout period of
60 seconds. The
/c
option specifies a message that is broadcast to any other users of the
system.
The
shutdown /s
command and option shuts down Windows, reset all cells in the
nPartition, perform any nPartition reconfigurations, and halt all cells at a
boot-is-blocked state, thus making the nPartition and all its cells inactive.
For more details use the
help shutdown
command.
