I am working on a script to shutdown an Alpha Server 4100 running DEC Unix
4.0D. The script will be called by PowerMon II monitoring a Powerware
Prestige 6000 UPS.
Connected to the system is an RA7000 RAID Array with dual redundant HSZ70
controllers. Most of the disk storage is in the RAID array, but not the
system disk.
The script kills off any remaining user processes and shutdown application
and database software. So, as a final step it seems the script should
1. Unmount all the AdvFS file systems in the RAID array.
2. Use hszterm to connect to the array and issue the commands
shutdown other controller
shutdown this controller
to ensure that the controller cache is flushed to disk.
3. finally do a shutdown -h
Question #1
-----------
Can someone point me to hszterm? The last information I have is that it
is subset SWA110 or SWACLI11A on one of the "layered product" CDs. The
CDs delivered with the system are Operating System, Associated Products 1
and 2, and Raid Array 7000. An SWA subset does not seem to be on any of
these CDs.
Question #2
-----------
Am I on the right track as far as the shutdown goes? Or is there some
other way to ensure that the Raid Array has flushed it's cache and is
ready to be powered down?
TIA.
Bruce.
