<div><p>At times, it is necessary to place the operating system in restricted
state. This is a concept unique to the <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> operating
system and must only be performed when necessary. Learn about restricted state
and when it needs to be performed.</p>
<p>Restricted state is a condition that occurs when all subsystems are ended,
either manually or automatically by the system. When the operating system
is in restricted state, most jobs cannot be active and users cannot connect
to the server. You need to ensure that information is saved and that other
servers, such as a Windows<sup>®</sup> server, are properly powered down before
putting the operating system in restricted state. If not, there is a high
risk that you will lose data.</p>
<p>The following examples show the most common tasks that require or highly
recommend restricted state status:</p>
<dl><dt class="dlterm">Performing a full system backup</dt>
<dd>When a full system backup is performed, the operating system is automatically
placed in restricted state. Restricted status is required because the server
requires sole access to everything it is backing up.</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">Saving multiple items</dt>
<dd>It is recommended that you put the operating system in a restricted state
when backing up multiple items such as libraries, documents, directories,
and storage. As previously stated, the system requires sole access to each
object it is backing up. If the system is not in restricted state and someone
is using a library when the system tries to back it up, the save operation
will not complete successfully.</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">Software installation and upgrade</dt>
<dd>At various points during a software installation or upgrade, the operating
system is required to be in a restricted state. During these procedures, you
are given instructions on how to do this.</dd>
</dl>
<p>There are many more situations where certain tasks require that you perform
this operation. The individual tasks will include specific requirements and
instructions. When required, you can place the operating system in restricted
state by entering the following command at a command line, type <samp class="codeph">ENDSBS
SBS(*ALL) OPTION(*CNTRLD) DELAY(600)</samp> and press Enter.</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Notes:</span> <ul><li>For the Delay parameter, specify a number of seconds that
allows your server time to bring most jobs to a normal end. On a large, busy
server, you might need a longer delay. For more information, use the online
command help.</li>
<li>The End System command (ENDSYS) will also put the system into restricted
state.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>The server sends messages to the QSYSOPR message queue. These messages
indicate that the subsystems ended, and the server is in a restricted state.</p>
