Oracle Solaris 11.x OS With Desktop Package Cannot Be Powered Off Using Certain Options in Oracle ILOM (16816951, 17952405)

For a server running Oracle Solaris 11.x with the desktop package, the following Oracle 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 forced shutdown of the server using the stop -f /SYS command from the Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI).

Other power-off options work normally.

Workaround

Depending on whether you want to use the Oracle ILOM web interface or CLI to power off the server, perform one of the following steps at the server running Oracle Solaris:

To power off the server using the Oracle ILOM CLI, do the following:

  1. Edit the gnome-power-manager.service file:

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

    For example:

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

To power off the server using the Oracle ILOM web interface, do the following:

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

  2. Select Power Manager > Edit.

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

    For example:

    gnome-power-manager --verbose


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