shutdown server command

A–31

A.21 shutdown server command

The

shutdown server

command shuts down and turns off servers. The

shutdown server

command

sends a command to each server telling the server to shut down and turn off its power. If a server has not

shut down and turned off its power after a default period of 90 seconds, the

shutdown server

command

turns off the power to the server through the iLO connection.

Syntax

shutdown server server_name|all [wait=wait_time]

Arguments

server_name|all

Required. Specify the servers to be shut down, or

all

to shut down all servers.

You can specify a single server, a comma-separated list of servers, or a range

of servers.

wait

Optional. Use this option to change the period (the default is 90 seconds) that

the

shutdown server

command waits for the servers to shut down. If a

server has not shut down and turned off its power after the specified period,

the

shutdown server

command turns off the power to the server through

the iLO connection.
If you specify a wait period of 0 (zero) seconds, the command to shut down is

not issued to the servers—instead, the power to the servers is turned off

immediately through the iLO connection.
Avoid using the

wait=0

option, because it powers off the server without

attempting to perform an orderly shutdown. However, the

wait=0

option is

useful and appropriate when the server is hung or otherwise unresponsive. If

you shut down a server pair with the

wait=0

option, when you next reboot the

server pair, one of the servers resets the other. Although both servers eventually

boot, the second server takes much longer to do so than the first server.

Examples

The following example shuts down the

south2

server:

sfs> shutdown server south2

The following example shuts down the

south11

,

south12

, and

south13

servers:

sfs> shutdown server south[11–13]

A.22 start filesystem command

The

start filesystem

command starts a file system. If the file system was previously stopped using the

stop filesystem

command (see Section A.23), the client node connections will have been preserved.

Syntax

start filesystem filesystem_name

Arguments

filesystem_name

Required. Specify the name of the file system you want to start.

Example

The following example starts the file system

data

.

sfs> start filesystem data
