Switch from Windows NT to the SRM Console
There are two ways to switch from Windows NT to the SRM console. Using the
Windows NT taskbar to shut down the system ensures that files are closed properly
before the system shuts down, and is preferred to switching to the SRM console from
the control panel.
From the Windows NT Taskbar (Preferred Method):
1. Click
on
Start in the taskbar displayed at the bottom of the screen, and then click
on Shut Down from the popup menu displayed.
2. A window displays with three options. Choose “yes” to “Shut down the
computer” or “Restart the computer.” (If you choose “Shut down the computer,”
another window will display telling you that it is safe to turn off the system, or you
can Restart. Choose Restart.)
3. If
the
auto_action
environment variable has been set to halt, the system will stop
at the SRM console prompt and you can enter commands. Otherwise, proceed to
Step 4.
