See the help shutdown Windows command for details.

To shutdown Windows from the command line, follow these steps:

1.Log in to Windows running on the system that you want to shut down.

For example, access the system console and use the SAC interface to start a command prompt, from which you can issue Windows commands to shut down the system.

2.Check to see whether any users are logged in. Use the query user or query session command.

3.Issue the shutdown command and the appropriate options to shut down the Windows Server 2003 on the system.

Use one of the following options when shutting down Windows:

•To shut down Windows and reboot, issue the following command: shutdown /r

•To shut down Windows and power off server hardware, issue the following command: shutdown /s

NOTE: To reboot a powered off system you must power on the system using the PC command at the iLO 2 MP Command menu

•To abort a shutdown, issue the following command: 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.

Booting and Shutting Down Linux

This section covers booting and shutting down Linux on entry class HP servers. Procedures for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server are included in this section.

•To add a Linux entry to the boot options list, see “Adding Linux to the Boot Options List” (page 135).

•To boot Linux on entry class HP Integrity servers, use the following procedures.

—See “Booting the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Operating System” (page 136).

—See “Booting the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server Operating System” (page 137).

•To shut down either Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SuSE Linux Enterprise Server, see “Shutting Down Linux” (page 138).

Adding Linux to the Boot Options List

This section describes how to add a Linux entry to the system boot options list. The processes for adding both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SuSE Linux Enterprise Servers are included.

NOTE: On HP Integrity servers, the operating system installer automatically adds an entry to the boot options list.

To add a Linux item to the boot options list, follow these steps:

INTEGRITY RX3600 specifications

The HP Integrity RX3600 is a high-performance server designed to address the demanding needs of enterprises that require robust computing capabilities, reliability, and scalability. Part of the HP Integrity server family, the RX3600 is built on the Itanium architecture, which is known for its exceptional processing power and advanced features that support mission-critical applications.

One of the main features of the RX3600 is its capability to handle multiple workloads with ease. The server supports up to 64 GB of RAM, allowing for efficient multitasking and enhanced performance in data-intensive environments. Its modular design also enables organizations to scale up their systems by adding additional memory or processors as needed, making it a flexible choice for growing businesses.

The RX3600 is equipped with HP's Integrity Virtual Machines (VMs), which provide virtualization capabilities that allow businesses to run multiple operating systems and applications on a single physical server. This not only maximizes resource utilization but also simplifies management by reducing the number of physical servers required in the data center.

Another significant characteristic of the RX3600 is its advanced reliability features. The server is designed with fault-tolerant components, including redundant power supplies and cooling systems. This ensures that the server remains operational even in the event of hardware failures. Additionally, HP's Error Correction Code (ECC) memory helps detect and correct data corruption, further enhancing the system's reliability.

For security, the HP Integrity RX3600 includes built-in features such as Secure Boot, which ensures that the server boots using only trusted firmware and software. This protects against unauthorized changes and vulnerabilities that could compromise data integrity.

In terms of connectivity, the RX3600 offers multiple I/O options, including advanced networking capabilities that support high-speed data transfer and improved bandwidth. This is critical for organizations that rely on data-intensive applications and need to maintain seamless connectivity.

Furthermore, the server supports a range of operating systems, including HP-UX and Linux, making it adaptable to various enterprise environments. Its robust performance, reliability, and scalability make the HP Integrity RX3600 an ideal choice for businesses looking to optimize their IT infrastructure and support their critical workloads with confidence.
