Modules installed in the virtualization switch should be operational while the switch is powered on and running. Modules can be in a different state than the overall switch power state.
If a module is currently operational, you can stop it. When a module is stopped, the module no longer receives 12V and active 3.3V power. However 3.3V standby power, which only powers the FRU ID chip on the module, is still enabled.
-> show /SYS/MODULES/ /SYS/MODULES Targets: MODULE0 MODULE1 MODULE3 MODULE5 MODULE6 MODULE10
-> stop /SYS/MODULES/MODULEX
where X is a number between 0 or 11 that corresponds to the module slot for which you want to display information.
For example, to stop module 3, type:
-> stop /SYS/MODULES/MODULE3 Are you sure you want to stop /SYS/MODULES/MODULE3 (y/n)? y Stopping /SYS/MODULES/MODULE3
If you answer yes, the module is immediately stopped.
-> show /SYS/MODULES/MODULE3 power_state /SYS/MODULES/MODULE3 Properties: power_state = Off
You can return the module to operation by issuing the start command. For information, see Start a Module (Oracle ILOM CLI).
