Power Off the Server Gracefully (Oracle ILOM Web Interface)

Performing a graceful shutdown ensures that all of your data is saved and the system is ready for restart.

  1. Depending on the system condition, you might want to view the system status or the log files or run diagnostics before you shut down the system.

    For log file information, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 4.0 Documentation Collection at https://www.oracle.com/goto/ilom/docs.

  2. Notify affected users that the server will be powered down.
  3. Save any open files, and quit all running applications.

    Refer to your application documentation for specific information about these processes.

  4. Log in to the System A or System B service processor Oracle ILOM web interface using an Administrator account.

    Direct a web browser to Oracle ILOM using the IP address of the server SP. Log in as a user with root or administrator privileges. See Accessing Oracle ILOM in Oracle Server X7-8 Installation Guide.

    For more information, see Using Oracle ILOM in Oracle Server X7-8 Installation Guide.

    The Oracle ILOM web interface System Information → Summary Information page appears.

  5. In the left pane, click Host Management → Power Control, and click Graceful Shutdown and Power Off from the Select Action list.
  6. Click Save, and then click OK.

    The host server performs an orderly power-down.

  7. Disconnect the power cords and data cables from the server.

    See Remove Power.


    Caution

    Caution  -  When you power off the server using Oracle ILOM, the server enters Standby power mode. Power is still directed to the service processor remote management subsystem and power supply fans. To completely power off the server, you must disconnect the power cords from the power supplies.
