Powering down and rebooting NetBackup servers

To close and restart NetBackup servers, use the following recommended procedure.

To power down a server

In the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, click Activity Monitor. Click the Jobs tab and make sure that no jobs are running.
Click the Daemons tab and right-click the NetBackup Request Daemon, bprd.
Select Stop daemon to stop additional job activity and to let current activity end.
Right-click any daemons that are still running and select Stop daemon.
From the command line, run:
On Windows:
install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bprdreq -terminate
On UNIX:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bprdreq -terminate
bprdreq does not run on a media server.
Run the system shutdown command.
The installation process copies the appropriate startup and shutdown script from /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies to /init.d and creates links to it from the appropriate /rc directory.
Use system startup scripts to begin the Media Manager and NetBackup daemons when the system boots up. Use shutdown scripts to terminate the daemons at system shutdown.
The NetBackup Installation Guide contains more information about the startup and shutdown scripts.
On Windows, run:
```
install_path\NetBackup\bin\bpdown
```
Power down the server.
