Performing a graceful shutdown ensures that all of your data is saved and the system is ready for restart.
-
Review the logs (optional).
Depending on the nature of the problem, 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.
- Prepare to shut down the system.
- Notify affected users that the server will be powered down.
-
Save any open files, and quit all running applications.
Refer to your application documentation for specific information about these processes.

Log in to the SP Oracle ILOM CLI.
Log in as a user with root or administrator privileges. For example, open an SSH session, and at the command line type:
