5.1.4
Forced termination of partition processing
The SMC that is connected to the main unit can forcibly terminate the processing of
the main unit if abnormal processing occurs, such as when a partition hangs.
The procedure for forced termination from the SMC is listed below.
1
From the Machine Administration Menu, select “Server selection”.
2
From the server selection menu, select the server whose information you want
to display.
The server processing menu of the selected server is displayed.
3
From the server processing menu, select “System Power Administration”.
4
From the system power administration menu, select the corresponding
operation item.
•
Partition dump switch instruction
This instruction stops the running partition and collects a data dump.
After the dump is written to disk, the partition is reset, and the operating system is
restarted.
•
Partition reset instruction
This instruction resets the running partition.
Use this instruction only if the partition dump switch instruction is disabled, or if
any other error has occurred in the operating system of the partition.
•
Forcible partition termination instruction
This instruction forcibly turns off the power to the running partition.
Use this instruction only if the partition cannot be stopped normally because of a
hardware error or for some other reason.
These operations can be performed regardless of the status of the mode switch on the
operator panel.
Data destruction
Do not forcibly turn off the power to a partition while the partition is running normally.
Doing so could cause the destruction of data.
