SHUTDOWN controller
Flushes all user data from the write-back cache (if present) of the specified controller
and shuts down the controller. The controller does not automatically restart. All units
accessed through the failed controller failover to the surviving controller.
Syntax
SHUTDOWN controller
Parameter
controller
Identifies the controller to shut down. You must specify THIS_CONTROLLER
(the one connected to the CLI maintenance terminal) or
OTHER_CONTROLLER.
Switches
The following switches are available to the SHUTDOWN controller command:
•
IGNORE_ERRORS and NOIGNORE_ERRORS
•
IMMEDIATE_SHUTDOWN and NOIMMEDIATE_SHUTDOWN
These switches are described in the following paragraphs:
IGNORE_ERRORS
NOIGNORE_ERRORS (default)
Controls the controller reaction based on the status of write-back cache.
CAUTION: The IGNORE_ERRORS switch causes the controller to keep unflushed
data in the write-back cache until it restarts and is able to write the data to devices. Do
not perform any hardware changes until the controller flushes the cache.
•
Specify IGNORE_ERRORS to instruct the controller to shutdown even if the
data within write-back cache cannot be written to the devices.
•
Specify NOIGNORE_ERRORS to instruct the controller to stop operation if
the data within write-back cache cannot be written to the devices.
