Shutting down Microsoft Windows
Shut down the Windows operating system on HP Integrity servers by using the Start menu or the
shutdown command.
CAUTION: Do not shut down Windows using SAC restart or shutdown commands under
normal circumstances.
Issuing restart or shutdown at the SAC> prompt causes the server 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.
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 server. The Shut down menu item shuts
down the server.
You can use this method when using a graphical interface to the server.
• Issue the shutdown command from the Windows command line.
You can issue this command from a command prompt through the Special Administration
Console or from any other command line.
The Windows shutdown command includes the following options:
