Power On the Server (Oracle ILOM)
You can use the SP to perform a graceful shutdown of the server. This type of shutdown ensures that all of your data is saved and that the server is ready for restart.
Note - Additional information about powering off the server is provided in Server Administration.
Depending on the type of problem, you might want to view server status or log files. You also might want to run diagnostics before you shut down the server.
Note - You can also use the Power button on the front of the server to initiate a graceful server shutdown. (See Power Off the Server (Power Button - Graceful).) This button is recessed to prevent accidental server power off.
