<h1 class="topictitle1">Shutting down Linux servers</h1>
|
|
<div><p>This topic discusses the multiple methods to shut down integrated Linux<sup>®</sup> servers.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Just as starting Linux servers can be accomplished in multiple
|
|
ways, so can stopping Linux servers. In this section we cover ways to shut
|
|
down Linux servers,
|
|
and unique situations that arise in an integrated environment.</p>
|
|
<p>You must
|
|
shut down your Linux servers before performing <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> system
|
|
tasks such as:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>Backing up statically linked storage spaces. Statically linked storage
|
|
spaces can only be backed up when Linux servers are shut down.</li>
|
|
<li>Putting an <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> partition
|
|
into restricted state. When you end <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> to
|
|
restricted state, the iSeries™ can only be accessed through the console.
|
|
If you put your iSeries into
|
|
restricted state by ending all subsystems immediately, your integrated Linux servers
|
|
are not automatically shut down. Because you normally put <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> into
|
|
restricted state to perform a backup, you need to shut down the Linux servers
|
|
in order to back up their components. If a server is running, components such
|
|
as storage spaces are locked, and excluded from the back up. Therefore, you
|
|
should shut down your integrated servers in a controlled manner before putting <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> into restricted state.</li>
|
|
<li>Performing a complete system backup. Performing a complete system save
|
|
using option 21 on the Save menu is an easy way to ensure that you have a
|
|
complete backup of your iSeries system, including your integrated Linux servers.
|
|
Option 21 on the Save menu has an option that allows you to automatically
|
|
shut down integrated servers before starting a backup. To set this option:<ol><li>Type go save on the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> command
|
|
line. Press <span class="uicontrol">Enter</span>.</li>
|
|
<li>Type <kbd class="userinput">21</kbd>, press <span class="uicontrol">Enter</span>.</li>
|
|
<li>You see the Save the Entire System display. Press <span class="uicontrol">Enter</span>.</li>
|
|
<li>On the Specify Command Defaults display there is an option called “Vary
|
|
off network servers”. This option defaults to <var class="varname">*NONE</var>, which
|
|
does not shut down integrated servers. To ensure that integrated Linux servers
|
|
are shut down before the backup starts, specify <kbd class="userinput">*ALL</kbd>.</li>
|
|
<li>Fill out the other options. Press <span class="uicontrol">Enter</span> to start
|
|
the backup.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Powering down the iSeries. It is strongly recommend that you shut down
|
|
your servers in a controlled manner before powering down the iSeries using
|
|
the Power Down System (PWRDWNSYS) command. </li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<div class="important"><span class="importanttitle">Important:</span> Always shut down your integrated Linux servers
|
|
before you put <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> into
|
|
restricted state, and prior to powering down the iSeries. Otherwise you might lose data

or corrupt the Linux operating system.</div>

<div class="nested1" xml:lang="en-us" id="rzau9shutdownxservercon"><a name="rzau9shutdownxservercon"><!-- --></a><h2 class="topictitle2">Shut down xSeries servers from the Linux console</h2>
|
|
<div><div class="section"><p>Shutting down a Linux server that is running on an Integrated xSeries<sup>®</sup> Adapter-attached xSeries from
|
|
the Linux console
|
|
is a special case. In this case you should not shut Linux down through
|
|
the Linux console.
|
|
The reason for this is that when you shut down an integrated Linux server
|
|
in this way, the xSeries server is turned off completely. This causes
|
|
the Integrated xSeries Adapter
|
|
to lose power and stop communicating over the HSL loop. The System Licensed
|
|
Internal Code (SLIC) on the iSeries interprets this as one of its towers (the
|
|
Integrated xSeries Adapter-attached xSeries in
|
|
this case) having been turned off, and removed from the HSL loop. The iSeries goes
|
|
into HSL recovery. The other iSeries towers in the loop should remain unaffected
|
|
because data flows both ways around the loop, and the other towers still have
|
|
a connection to the iSeries system unit. But if multiple Integrated xSeries Adapter-based
|
|
integrated servers are shut down from the Linux console, towers that are cabled
|
|
between the shut down servers on the HSL loop become isolated and no longer
|
|
have a connection to the iSeries system unit. If the isolated towers contain
|
|
disk units, the iSeries terminates
|
|
abnormally. Also, if the loop contains a migration tower, shutting down a
|
|
single Integrated xSeries Adapter-based server from the console can
|
|
also bring down the iSeries because data can only flow one way around
|
|
the HSL loop to a migration tower. </p>
|
|
<p>For integrated Linux servers
|
|
running on Integrated xSeries Adapter-attached xSeries machines, the correct way to
|
|
shut down is from iSeries Navigator or the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> command
|
|
line. </p>
|
|
