SHUTDOWN — New CI Command

5. Perform a configuration UPDATE to your system with the CSLT tape created under SYSGEN.

6. After UPDATE is complete, use the ISL AUTOBOOT command to enable the autoboot feature. At the

ISL prompt enter:

ISL> AUTOBOOT ON

ISL> START start_options

Once the above steps are complete & the autoboot feature is enabled, the command :SHUTDOWN

SYSTEM;RESTART will completely shutdown the system and the startup needs no operator intervention.

(See the sample output shown below.)

Note for AUTORESTART Product Users

There is no change in behavior for Autorestart product features due to the introduction of :SHUTDOWN CI

command.

However, when the :SHUTDOWN SYSTEM;RESTART command is issued and if the AUTOBOOT file has the

DUMP command, the system will take a DUMP of the system and execute the rest of the commands in

AUTOBOOT file.

To disable taking full DUMP during normal shutdown and restart, you can use the Mini dump feature of the

AUTORESTART product. It provides FULLDUMP, NULLDUMP and MINIDUMP options.

Refer to the AUTORESTART User’s Guide for details.
