When a Charon instance is stopped using the Charon tray icon, the Charon service management utility, Windows service management or the Virtual Machines Manager (depending on Charon version installed) or in case the Windows server is shutdown, it is like powering off a physical system without shutting it down first from the Charon emulated server point of view. In such a case, there is no clean shutdown of the legacy operating system (Tru64 or VMS). The services and applications are not stopped properly, and the file systems are not dismounted cleanly.
The Charon Instance Clean Shutdown Utility is designed to perform a clean shutdown of the emulated server before the Windows server power off occurs. It is based on a PowerShell script.
This document explains how to configure the utility and the methods that can be used to execute the remote shutdown. It relates to script version 2.5.
