Stop a Host

You can power off each host (PDomain) separately, or you can power off all of the configured hosts.

This task uses PDomain_0 as an example. You must have the reset role (r) to complete this task.

  1. Log in to Oracle ILOM.

    Log In to Oracle ILOM (CLI).

  2. Stop the host(s) as required for your situation:
    • To shut down the OS gracefully and then power off all of the configured hosts, leaving the server in standby, type the following command.

      The following output is from the SPARC M7-8 server with two PDomains, and assumes that there are no faults that would prevent the hosts from shutting down.

      -> stop /System
      Are you sure you want to stop all of the configured hosts on the system (y/n) y
      Stopping /System
      stop:
      /HOST0: Stopping
      /HOST1: Stopping
      
      ->

      The following output is from the SPARC M7-8 server with one PDomain, and assumes that there are no faults that would prevent the host from shutting down.

      -> stop /System
      Are you sure you want to stop all of the configured hosts on the system (y/n) ? y
      Stopping /System
      stop:
      /HOST0: Stopping
      
      ->

      The following output is from the SPARC M7-16 server, and assumes that there are no faults that would prevent the hosts (HOST0 in this case) from shutting down. Also, in this case, only HOST0 has DCUs assigned to it.

      -> stop /System
      Are you sure you want to stop all of the configured hosts on the system (y/n)? y
      Stopping /System
      stop: 
      /HOST0: Stopping
      /HOST1: No DCUs assigned
      /HOST2: No DCUs assigned
      /HOST3: No DCUs assigned
      
      ->

      Note -  If a host does not shut down successfully, use the -f|force option.
    • To shut down the OS gracefully and then power off a specific host, type:
      -> stop /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_0/HOST
      Are you sure you want to stop /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_0/HOST (y/n) ? y
      Stopping /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_0/HOST
      
      ->

      Note -  If the host does not shut down successfully, use the -f|force option.
    • To immediately turn off power to a specific host, type the following command.

      Note -  Ensure that all data is saved before typing this command. To bypass the confirmation prompt, use the -script option.
      -> stop -f /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_0/HOST
      Are you sure you want to immediately stop /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_0/HOST (y/n) ? y
      Stopping /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_0/HOST immediately
      
      ->
