Power Off a Server With Multiple Active Domains (Oracle VM Server for SPARC)

If the server is configured with multiple Oracle VM for SPARC domains, use this procedure to shut down the domains and power off the server.

  1. If needed, ensure that the domain configurations are saved to the SP.
    # ldm add-spconfig config-name
    
  2. Access and shut down the OS in all of the nonprimary domains.

    The method you use to access a domain depends on how you have configured the consoles for your domains.

    To shut down the OS, see Shut Down the OS (init Command) or Shut Down the OS (shutdown Command).

    1. From the primary domain, list the domains and their states.
      # ldm list
      

      Note which domains are non-I/O domains or active I/O domains.

    2. Stop and unbind all the non-I/O domains.
      # ldm stop-domain domain-name
      . . .
      # ldm unbind-domain domain-name
      
    3. Stop and unbind any active I/O domains.
      # ldm stop-domain domain-name
      . . .
      # ldm unbind-domain domain-name
      
    4. Verify that the nonprimary domains are inactive.
      # ldm list
      
  3. Shut down the primary domain.

    To shut down the OS, see Shut Down the OS (init Command) or Shut Down the OS (shutdown Command).

  4. Switch from the system console prompt to the Oracle ILOM prompt by typing the #. (Hash-Dot) escape sequence.
  5. From the Oracle ILOM prompt, type:
    -> stop /System
    Are you sure you want to stop /System (y/n)? y
    Stopping /System
     
    ->
    

    Note - To perform an immediate shutdown, use the stop -force /System command. Ensure that all data is saved before typing this command.
