shutdown error..

[Pando]

Dear Gurus,

Whenever i shutdown my hpux ia64 system, using the command below:

# shutdown -ry 0

I got the message,

sync'ing disks (0 buffers to flush)
0 buffers not flushed
0 buffers still dirty

what does the message implies. Is there something wrong with my system?

Fernando,

These are not errors and there is no wrong with your system.

Just wait for the following message to shutdown the system.

System has halted
OK to turn off power or reset system
UNLESS "WAIT for UPS to turn off power"

During shutdwon its just synchronising (sync) the memory contents with the disk.

All the best,

Hi Fernando,

These are not errors. The above message is perfectly fine.

If you have problems this will be reported in your syslog.log and the file /var/tombstones/ts99 and there will be core dumps in /var/adm/crash.
