Shutdown an integrated server from the Windows server console

To shut down an integrated Windows server from its own console you select Start —> Shut Down from the Windows start menu. However, this method is not recommended because it only causes an integrated server to partially shut down. The Windows operating system stops, leaving the screen It is now safe to turn off your computer, but to completely power down and restart you must vary off the server using iSeries™ Navigator or the character-based interface.

As opposed to shutting down, restarting an integrated server from its own console is one of the most efficient ways to do so.

Follow these steps

  1. From the Start menu, choose Shut down.
  2. Select Restart from the drop-down menu and click Ok.

For iSCSI attached servers, when the server is Shutdown from the Windows server console the NWSD will not be varied off. The NWSD will transition from ACTIVE to VARIED ON. The server status can be queried using iSeries Navigator or using the Work with Network Server Status (WRKNWSSTS). The status is retrieved every time the command is issued. The Windows server will not automatically report its state.
