System Procedures
If your cluster uses the Scali Manage administrative software (release 5.6.x) or later, you
can power on/off specific nodes or the entire system using the graphical user interface.
Select Management Menu -> Power Mgt ->Power Off. The compute nodes can be halted
from the Scali Manage GUI by selecting the nodes and choosing “halt system” and
“power down” from the System Management menu. A command line interface is also
available to power-on/off or check status.
Note: Refer to the Scali Manage User’s Guide for more information. You must have root
privileges to perform these types of tasks.
