An integrated Windows server has no power button; its state is controlled by the iSeries™. Normally you start and shut down integrated servers from iSeries Navigator or the character-based interface. You can partially shut down an integrated server using its own Start —> Shut Down menu, but you cannot start it again without using iSeries Navigator or the character-based interface.
Ensure that integrated servers are varied off before shutting down your iSeries, otherwise, data corruption can occur. Some commands used to shutdown the iSeries will initiate a shutdown in attached integrated servers and wait a certain amount of time for them to power down before shutting down the iSeries. Other commands will shut down the iSeries immediately.
If you use the power off/on scheduling program QEZPWROFFP, you will need to configure it to work with your integrated server.
The following sections describe the start and shut down methods:
