Power Down the Server Gracefully Using Oracle ILOM Web Interface
Performing a graceful shutdown ensures that all of your data is saved and the system is
ready for restart.
1. Log in to the server as superuser or equivalent.
Depending on the nature of the problem, you might want to view the system status or the
log files or run diagnostics before you shut down the system. Refer to Oracle ILOM
Documentation.
2. Notify affected users that the server will be powered down.
3. Save any open files, and quit all running applications.
Refer to your application documentation for specific information about these processes.
4. Log in to the Oracle ILOM web interface using an Administrator account.
Refer to Oracle ILOM Documentation.
5. In the left pane, click Host Management → Power Control, and click Graceful Shutdown
and Power Off from the Select Action list.
6. Click Save, and then click OK.
The host server performs an orderly power shutdown to Standby power mode, and the
System OK LED on the front panel begins blinking.
7. Disconnect the power cords and data cables from the server.
See Disconnect Cables From the Server.
Caution:
When you power down the server using Oracle ILOM, the server enters
Standby power mode. Power is still directed to the service processor and power
supply fans. To completely power off the server, you must disconnect the power
cords from the power supplies.
Power Down the Server Gracefully Using the On/Standby Button
Power down the server using the On/Standby button. Performing a graceful shutdown
ensures that all of your data is saved and the system is ready for restart.
1. Press and quickly release the On/Standby button on the front panel.
This action causes ACPI-enabled operating systems to perform an orderly shutdown of
the operating system. Servers not running ACPI-enabled operating systems shut down to
Standby power mode immediately.
When main power is off, the System OK LED on the front panel begins blinking,
indicating that the server is in Standby power mode.
2. Disconnect the power cords and data cables from the server.
See Disconnect Cables From the Server.
