  And exactly what you would achieve by doing this? And who else you think should be able to make the closure of the db if not the Sys user? in any case, the answer is a No . It is not possible.

• Specification of the SHUTDOWN options

  Version: 10 gr 2
  
  While I was closing a DB of RAC, I noticed that
  

  srvctl stop instance -d orcl -i orcl2 -- Without any options 

  is faster than
  

  srvctl stop instance -d orcl -i orcl2 -o immediate

  That we stop the instance faster?
  
  PS: SURRENDER is not an option for me

  Hello

  That we stop the instance faster?

  Except SHUTDOWN ABORT SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE is to be fastest.

  Immediate stop of the database occurs under the following conditions:
  No new connections are allowed, no new transactions are allowed to start, after issuance of the statement.
  All uncommitted transactions are cancelled. (If long uncommitted transactions exist, this stop method could not fill quickly, despite its name.)
  Oracle database does not wait for the users currently connected to the database to disconnect. Implicitly, the database restores all of the active transactions and disconnects all users.

  However, in practice, some factors may arise and IMMEDIATE STOP can take a long time.
  In the file Instance ALERTLOG, appear the reason to for Instance long stop.

  Generally, one of the three that happens:
  Uncommitted transactions are cancelled.
  SMON is clean temporary segments or the delay block nitrifiants.
  Process continue to be connected to the database and is not completed.

  So, before issuing an immediate halt, he recommends to check the following views, especially when the database has to be reduced to a very short period of time:

  1. for large queries:

  select count(*) from v$session_longops where time_remaining>0;
  

  2. for the transactions:

  select sum(used_ublk) from v$transaction;
  

  A result greater than 0 for the first query, and a great value returned for the second would mean a time relatively long to wait until the end of the immediate stoppage.

  Is no recommendation of the Oracle, but each time that the coup will stop immediately and I check if the problem is associated with lengthy operations, so I kill all processes of the sessions by the operating system. After that, I start the Instance in restricted mode and issue the (normal) stop.

  I follow these steps to force the correct stop.

  1 check if there is no link present in the database as:

  $ ps -eaf | grep LOCAL
  

  It will give you the OSPIDs of the client connected to the database.

  2. manually kill them like:

  # Kill -9 
  

  or you can use this script with care.

  The Script below to kill only the sessions remotely on the db10g1 Instance.

  for i in `ps -ef |grep "oracledb10g1 (LOCAL=NO)" |grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
  do
   echo  kill -9  $i
  done
  

  3. follow the ALERTLOG file if instance is stopped.

  I use Pro 8.1 and I'm sorry but stopping and restarting do NOT appear when connected via a RDP session and you click on the key Windows + X (or right click on Start).  The options you get are (ironically) "stop or d├⌐connexion" > "Disconnect" or "disconnect".

• vCLI and vCenter shutdown options

  I use vCLI 4.0 u1, trying to find the command used to turn off all ESX hosts that vCenter handles gracefully. (if that is even possible)

  I can see where we can use vmware-cmd stop closing comments and then shut down the virtual machine.  However I do not see to shutdown gracefully power management functions the ESX hosts themselves?

  If I'm not 'all the ESX host managed by this vCenter' at least can we this ESX host?

  Yes this is possible, you'll want to watch using hostops.pl , which are extra vSphere SDK for Perl utilities: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl40/doc/vsperl_util_index.html

• Windows XP freezes for 2 minutes after clicking on start - > shutdown (DCOM error?)

  Windows XP hangs for about 2 minutes after I click on start-> stop. So it takes 2 minutes to XP display the shutdown options.  I checked the event viewer, and it seems to point the problem to some sort of DCOM error. I have provided a screen shot of this error in the event viewer. Unfortunately, it is in Finnish, but it is essentially saying that 'a server (981... '. A4D) could not save with DCOM in a given period of time)

  

  Looks like a lot of unnecessary services on your pc... To change, go to run, type:

  services.msc in msc, scroll through, double-click one, review its properties...

  In addition, to give the stop or restart the pc, a faster time, go to run, type: regedit

  In regedit, expand: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel configuration/locate & L.click on

  AutoEndTasks, go to edit, modify, set to 1 between 0 and family on regedit.

  This gives faster response, but the problem lies in the performance of services, Msconfig

  also gives details...

• How to use the shutdown command to stop another computer?

  I just saw the setting-m to the shutdown command and decided to give it a whirl. However, when I pointed out the computer in question, I received a message that "a required privilege is not owned by the customer.

  What should I do to be able to use my laptop to turn off my old desktop computer? Both are running XP Professional SP3.
  Sometimes, I like reading or watching streaming video on Hulu on the laptop while lying in bed, and sometimes I play music if do the first, which is stored in the form of MP3 files on the desktop (which I access via a share). Be able to turn the office without getting up would be nice, but you do not get this option with Remote Desktop.

  Here is the result, the office is "slickswintel" (he's old, and since when I went first from Mac to Windows 98SE, although it is now a double XP/98) and the laptop is "slickslaptop".
  Both machines have unprivileged called 'Slick' on them local accounts that are my accounts on the day the main day. I have a different admin account, but I only use it as needed and use runas as often I log in fact.

  What should I do to get the following to work? In spite of the passing the MCSA Exam, I never learned about this feature, so I'm not sure what I should do to make it work? It'll work on a workgroup or is it only for domains? While I could set up a domain with the copy of the server I got from Dreamspark, I really didn't need one.

  As a general rule, you must have administrative privileges on the remote computer to shut down this computer.  Given that both computers have XP Pro, you are halfway there (remote users always authenticate as 'Guest' on XP Home).  The computer that you are trying to close must have "Simple file sharing" disabled because otherwise you can not authenticate to this computer as anything except the user "guest".  So try to disable Simple file sharing, make sure that your user name and password are the same on both computers and make sure you have administrative privileges on the remote computer, and then you can stop the machine with the command "shutdown".

  "How to disable the file sharing simple and how to set permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307874 >

  In fact, it's easier to use the remote desktop.  Even if you do not have a "Shutdown" option in the start menu, you can always open a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter the command:
  stop s f t 35
  This will give you 35 seconds to logoff this computer before its judgment (assuming that you have administrator privileges).

  You can also look in the command "psshutdown' of the PSTools Suite

• Hibernation has been workingfine then disappeared. How to get it back as a stop option?

  Hibernation has disappeared from my shutdown options.  Please help with how to retrieve this function in my Toshiba Satellite M115 running MS XP...  Thanks in advance for any help.  Jon Dl

  Do you mean that the Stand By button is dimmed and does not become a Hibernate button when you press the SHIFT key?  Or is it still functional button (not grayed out) position.

  If this is the case, and the ideas of TechGeek2 you get this problem means that your video drivers are bad and you need to get the right video drivers for your system.

  You can search the driver for proper display on the Toshiba WWW page:

  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp?NAV=download

  Note that Toshiba makes reference to drivers as "Display" drivers and video drivers not.

  If you need help figuring out, follow these steps:

  Since we do not know much about your system, I must respond to a request for more information:

  What do you think the system has changed since the last time it worked correctly?

  Please provide additional information on your system:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  Msinfo32

  Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the information here.

  For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.

  There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.

  This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.

  Incidentlally, you can add a fourth button Hibernate in your menu to shut down the computer if you do not have to press the Shift key to Hibernate.  It's good for lazy people like me.

• -L' stop six options that are next to the lock button in the task in the task bar disappear from my computer.

  Hello

  • What were the changes made before the problem occurred?

  You can view these methods:

  Method 1:

  I suggest you to start your computer in safe mode with network and check.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Method 2:

  Try the SFC scan on the computer in mode noraml.

  SFC/scannow is a very useful command that you can use in any version of Windows. When the SFC (System File Checker) command is used with the/scannow switch, the tool analyzes all the important files of Windows on your computer and replace if necessary.

  Missing and the corruption of the operating system (like many DLLs) files are probably the main cause of the major problems of Windows. In view of this, plus the fact that the SFC/scannow is completely automatic and very easy to use, the tool should be usually one of your top not troubleshooting.

  Reference:

  How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

  Method 3:

  Run a full scan with your antivirus software and removal of malware/spyware.

• Vista shutdown problem

  Cannot close Windows Vista. Only way to stop is to use the power button / stop.  Indicates the closing down, but even after 15 minutes, it still says close.  Started after that recent windows update downloads. Mainly the security for Office

  Cannot close Windows Vista. Only way to stop is to use the power button / stop.  Indicates the closing down, but even after 15 minutes, it still says close.  Started after that recent windows update downloads. Mainly the security for Office

  Suggestions: Note. Try the stop option after completing each suggestion.

  1. run a full scan with your security program. Your computer might be infected.

  2. create another account with the SAME privileges as your current. Logon to this new account. Try the Shutdown option. If it closes, your old account is damaged.

  3. in the case of having bad/corrupted files, run a file system check. See if he can find and be able to fix them. At the end of the audit file, it will tell you your machine has "no breach of integrity", or that it is bad but unable to fix the files.

  Start button > Search box type cmd > look up, do a RIGHT click oncmd.exe > click onRun As Administrator > in this window cmd black and white, type at the prompt flashing sfc/scannow > press the ENTER key.
  Note: there is a space between 'sfc' and ' / '.
  To sit and wait. It will take time.
  When finished, exit the cmd window.
  Reboot (restart your computer)

  4. it might be time can.
  a.) place your Windows Update MANUAL setting.
  (b) do a system restore. Choose the date that PRECEDES your "recent updates download" as your restore point.
  Start button > Search box, type system restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, until the click > next > finish
  To sit and wait. The machine restarts when it's done.

  If you got this far to #4 suggestion and stop option actually works after system restore, then after return. The procedures will be really a lot of time.

  For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.
