Gracefully Shut Down LDoms
■
Powering off one Exadata Storage Server will not affect running database processes or
Oracle ASM.
■
Powering off or restarting Exadata Storage Servers can impact database availability.
The following command shuts down Exadata Storage Server immediately:
# shutdown -h -y now
Gracefully Shut Down LDoms
The SPARC T5-8 server configurations vary based on the configuration chosen during
installation. If running with one LDom you shutdown the machine just as you would any other
server just by cleanly shutting down the OS. If running two LDoms you will shutdown the
guest domain first and then the primary (control). If running with three or more domains you
will have to identify the domain(s) that is/are running off virtualized hardware and shut it/
them down first before moving on to shutting down the guest domain and finally the primary
(control) domain.
1.
Shut down, stop, and unbind each of the non-I/O domains.
# ldm stop domainname
LDom domainname stopped
# ldm unbind-domain domainname
2.
Shut down, stop, and unbind any active I/O domains.
# ldm stop activedomainname
LDom activedomainname stopped
# ldm unbind-domain activedomainname
3.
Halt the primary domain.
# shutdown -i5 -g0 -y
Because no other domains are bound, the firmware automatically powers off the system.
