Cleanly Shutting Down and Power Cycling a Logical Domains System

If you have made any configuration changes since last saving a configuration to the SC, before you attempt to power off or power cycle a Logical Domains system, make sure that you save the latest configuration that you want to keep.

Power Off a System With Multiple Active Domains

1. Shut down and unbind all the non-I/O domains.

2. Shut down and unbind any active I/O domains.

3. Halt the primary domain.

   Because no other domains are bound, the firmware automatically powers off the system.

Power Cycle the System

1. Shut down and unbind all the non-I/O domains.

2. Shut down and unbind any active I/O domains.

3. Reboot the primary domain.

   Because no other domains are bound, the firmware automatically power cycles the system before rebooting it. When the system restarts, it boots into the Logical Domains configuration last saved or explicitly set.
