Server domains can either be powered off from the Operating System (RECOMMENDED)
or from the PAM
Domain Manager , according to Operating System power settings.
The PAM Power Off command is a shutdown request to the Operating System. If the
Operating System is configured to accept a PAM power off request, it will save data, close
open applications and shut down. Domain hardware will power down to the stand–by mode.
The Operating System may also be configured to request Operator confirmation before
accepting a PAM power off
request. Refer to the applicable documentation delivered with
the Operating System for further details.
To power off a domain from the PAM
Domain Manager
:
1. Click
Domain Manager
to open the Control pane.
2. Select the required domain. If the domain is in the powered–on mode, RUNNING is
displayed in the Domain Status panel and the Power OFF button is accessible.
3. Click Power Off to power down the domain and associated hardware components. The
Power Off Confirmation dialog opens.
4. Select the View Power–Off Logs checkbox if you want power–off logs to be
automatically displayed during the power–off sequence and click Yes to confirm.
The Operating System saves data, closes open applications and shuts down. Domain
hardware is powered down from the main mode to the stand–by mode. As the power–off
sequence progresses, power–off steps and domain state are displayed in the
Domain
Status panel, as shown in the following table.
