2.3.1 Server power operations
2.3.1.1 Operations
The Operations menu is used to turn the host CPUs on or off and also to perform a reboot. The following
options are available:
●
Power on:
power on the host processors.
●
Orderly Reboot:
causes the OS controlled reboot process to be triggered.
●
Immediate Reboot:
causes the CPU to be abruptly rebooted, without previous warning to the
OS.
●
Orderly Shutdown:
causes the OS controlled shutdown process to be triggered. After the
shutdown procedure has been completed, the server will switch to the STANDBY Mode.
●
Immediate Shutdown:
causes the CPU to be abruptly shut down, without previous warning to
the OS. After the shutdown procedure has been completed, the server will switch to the
STANDBY Mode.
The shut down and reboot processes do not interfere with the BMC operations. The BMC operation is
independent of the host CPUs power, so the BMC keeps working even if the host CPUs are powered
off or rebooted.
The procedure to perform a reboot or shutdown is pretty straightforward. The user selects between the
options “orderly” or “immediate” by marking the corresponding checkbox and then click on the
respective “Reboot” or “Shut down” button.
