Table 3-2 Action

Options

Parameter

For Action

•

Graceful:

Select this to cleanly shut

down applications on the system before
the system shuts down. This takes more
time and is used in normal circumstances.

•

Forced:

Select this to shut down the

system immediately. This allows the OS
to shut down cleanly (e.g. flushing disk
buffers). But, applications may not get
the opportunity to shut down cleanly. You
can use this method when quick
shutdown is essential.

NOTE:

The forced shut down option on

HP-UX and Linux systems does the graceful
shut down on those systems.

On VMware ESX 3.i and 4.i series
(embedded) versions, you will be unable to
shutdown the hosts and guests either
gracefully or forced as these versions do not
have the SSH capability.

Method

Shut down

•

dynamic power mode:

Select this

option for the iLO to vary the power
consumption of the system dynamically
based on the load.

•

OS-controlled power mode

Select this

option for the system operating system
to vary the power consumption
dynamically based on the load.

NOTE:

ProLiant systems require a

reboot to enter or exit OS-controlled
power mode. On such systems, the
power mode change will be held until
the next reboot occurs. This action does
not force a reboot.

•

high power mode

Select this option to

set the system power consumption at the
highest level to provide best
performance.

•

low power mode

Select this option to

set the system power consumption at a
low level that sacrifices performance for
power reduction.

Power level

•

turn power off

Select this option to turn

the system power off.

•

turn power on

Select this option to turn

the system power on.

Switch setting

Power switch

Enter the command line to execute the script.
The target system names will be added to
the end of this command line before it is run.

NOTE:

To run a script on a Windows

CMS, it may be necessary to use a
command line that starts with "cmd.exe /C"
followed by the script name. If the pathname
of the script contains spaces or special
characters, remember to use the quotes. If
the script is a visual script or shell script, use
script with the intepreter name. For example,
"cmd.exe /c cscript "
in Window CMS or "ksh < script name> "
in Linux/UNIX.
