The correct way to shutdown z/Linux Guest Softly

[Martin, Terry R. (CMS/CTR) (CTR)]

Hi,

 

Lately we have had some problems with Oracle corruption that we are
being told it is because the way we are shutting down our z/Linux guest.
What is the cleanest and safest way to shutdown a z/Linux guest? Should
we be issuing a separate Oracle shutdown of some sort before shutting
down the whole guest?

 

We are running REDHAT REL4 under z/VM 5.3

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Terry
