Powering Off a Domain
What You Can Do
During the domain power-off sequence, you can:
• View functional status
• View power logs
• View powering sequences
• View BIOS info
• View request logs
• View domain configuration, resources and status
Server domains can either be powered off from the Operating System (RECOMMENDED) or
from the PAM Domain Manager, according to Operating System power settings.
The PAM Power Off command is a shutdown request 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. Domain hardware will power down to the stand-by mode.
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.
Notes:
• When more than one domain is loaded in the Control pane, domains can be powered off
sequentially or simultaneously. See Powering Off a Single Domain, on page 3-18 and
Powering Off Multiple Domains, on page 3-19.
• Server domains may be powered up even if the server presents a minor fault. See System
Functional Status, on page 4-4. However, you are advised to contact your Customer
Service Engineer so that the fault can be repaired.
Powering Off a Single Domain
To power off a single domain from the PAM Domain Manager:
1. Click Domain Manager to open the Control pane.
2. Select the required domain. If the domain is in the powered-on mode, RUNNING is
displayed in the Domain Status panel and the Power OFF button is accessible.
3. Click Power Off to power down the domain and associated hardware components. The
Power Off Confirmation dialog opens.
4. Select the View Power-Off Logs checkbox if you want power-off logs to be automatically
displayed during the power-off sequence and click Yes to confirm.
The Operating System saves data, closes open applications and shuts down. Domain
hardware is powered down from the main mode to the stand-by mode. As the power-off
sequence progresses, power-off steps and domain state are displayed in the Domain
Status panel, as shown in the following table.
