6.Drain the spooler. The SPOOLCOM SPOOLER DRAIN command stops the spooler in an orderly manner. It is the only recommended way to stop the spooler. At a TACL prompt:

>SPOOLCOM supervisor-name, SPOOLER, DRAIN

7.Stop the TMF subsystem. At the TACL prompt:

>TMFCOM STOP TMF

8.Refresh the disks to put them in an orderly state before shutdown. Use the SCF CONTROL DISK, REFRESH command:

>SCF CONTROL DISK $*,REFRESH

9.If the system is a member of a ServerNet cluster, HP recommends that you first remove the system from the cluster. To remove the system from the cluster, refer to the ServerNet Cluster 6780 Operations Guide (for 6780 switches) or the ServerNet Cluster Manual (for 6770 switches).

Stopping the System

Stopping a system halts each processor (terminating all processes running in each processor) on the system in an orderly fashion.

Alerts

Before stopping a system:

•Stop applications, devices, and processes in an orderly fashion. See Stopping the System on page 15-16.

•To maximize application availability, make stopping the system a planned event whenever possible.

Halting All Processors Using OSM

To place processors in a halt state and set the status and registers of the processors to an initial state:

1.Prepare the system by shutting down applications and performing all tasks in Stopping the System on page 15-16.

2.Log on to the OSM Low-Level Link.

3.On the toolbar, click Processor Status.

4.In the Processor Status dialog box, select all processors to be halted.

To select multiple processors, use the Shift key, but the processors must be in numerical order. For example, you can select processors 2, 3, and 4, but not 2 and 4.
