shutdown
The
shutdown
command changes the operational state of one or both RAID
Controllers.
You can specify these RAID Controller states:
Servicemode
A mode where all processes except command processes are stopped.
Reboot
A mode where all processes are stopped and then started again.
Online
A mode where all processes are active.
This command is used to shutdown RAID Controllers singularly or together. You
can specify if the controllers being shutdown enter service mode during the
shutdown process.
Note: If the controller to which you have your RAID Controller command line
interface session connected is shut down, the CLI session ends. However, if only
one controller is selected for
servicemode
, an optional switch
–ensuresurvivor
can
be issued to ensure that the process does not result in non-availability.
With the
servicemode
option,
–ensuresurvivor
and
-readytoremove
options have to
be selected together.
-readytoremove
option illuminates the service LED. A
controller in service mode can be brought online by issuing this command with
–state online
option to the active controller.
Command arguments:
<CLI> shutdown [–[ctlr 0| ctlr 1 ]–state [servicemode [-readytoremove] [-ensuresurvivor]
| reboot | online]] | [-system –state [servicemode |reboot]]
Where:
v [servicemode|reboot|online]
- Allows selection of the state of the controller.
Example of the shutdown command with the -help option:
<CLI> shutdown -help
COMMAND-HELP: shutdown
Usage
: shutdown -ctlr [0|1] -state [servicemode [-readytoremove -ensuresurvivor]|
reboot |online ] | -system -state [servicemode |reboot]
This command is used to shutdown either or both the controllers. The user can specify whether
the controllers being shutdown enter service mode or shut off their power. If only one
controller is selected for servicemode, an optional switch ’ensuresurvivor’ can be passed to
ensure that it will not result in non-availability. With the servicemode option,
ensuresurvivor and readytoremove options have to be selected together. The ’readytoremove’
option enables the service LED to be turned on. A powered off controller can be powered on by
issuing this command with ’-state online’ option to the active controller. If the controller
to which this CLI session is connected to is being requested to be powered off,the user will
lose the CLI session.
