Oracle Solaris 11.2 or 11.3 with Desktop Package cannot be powered off using certain options in Oracle ILOM

Bug ID 15795941

Issue: For a server running Oracle Solaris 11.2 or 11.3 with the Desktop Package, the following Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) power-off options do not power off the server:

  • When performing a graceful shutdown of the server from the Oracle ILOM web interface.

  • When performing a graceful shutdown of the server using stop /System command from the Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI).

Other power off options work normally.

Affected software: Oracle Solaris 11.2 and 11.3

Workaround: Perform one of the following workarounds on the server running Oracle Solaris depending on whether you plan on using the Oracle ILOM CLI or web interface to power off the server.

  • To use the Oracle ILOM CLI for power-off, first do the following at the server running Oracle Solaris:

    1. In /usr/share/dbus-1/services/gnome-power-manager.service, add --verbose to the following line: Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-power-manager

      The edited line should read:

      Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-power-manager --verbose

  • To use the Oracle ILOM web interface for power-off, first do the following at the server running Oracle Solaris:

    1. Select System → Preferences → Startup Applications from the gnome-panel's menu list.

    2. Select Power Manager → Edit.

    3. Add --verbose to the following line: gnome-power-manager.

      The edited line should read:

      gnome-power-manager --verbose


Note -  If the gnome-power-manager daemon is currently running, enter pkill gnome-power-manager from the command line to stop it.
