Powering OFF the Domain
The server can either be powered OFF from the Operating System or from the PAM
Domain Manager Control pane, according to Operating System configuration.
The PAM Power OFF command is a shutdown request posted to the Operating System. If
the Operating System is configured to accept a PAM Power OFF request, it will save data,
close open applications and shut down. Server hardware will power down to stand–by
mode.
Note:
The Operating System may also be configured to request Operator confirmation before
accepting a PAM Power OFF request. Refer to the applicable documentation delivered with
the Operating System for further details.
To power OFF the domain from the PAM Domain Manager:
1. Click Domain Manager to open the Control pane. If the server domain is in the stand–by
mode, RUNNING is displayed in the Domain Status panel and the Power OFF button is
accessible.
Important:
If <RUNNING> is not displayed in the Domain Status panel and the Power OFF button
is not accessible, another user may have already launched the power–off sequence
or may be working under EFI SHELL. If the power–off sequence is not already in
progress and/or if <EFI STARTED> is not displayed in the Domain Status panel, see
What To Do if an Incident Occurs, on page 3-11.
2. Click Power OFF to power down the domain and associated hardware components. As
the power–off sequence progresses, the Power Sequence icons sequentially light up to
display current status and the corresponding domain state is displayed in the Domain
Status panel.
For guidance, the following table indicates the two power–off steps and corresponding
domain states.
