omconfig: Managing Components 151
omconfig system shutdown/omconfig servermodule shutdown
Use the omconfig system shutdown or omconfig servermodule shutdown
command to determine the way in which the system shuts down. During
system shutdown, the default is to shut down the operating system before
powering off the system. Shutting down the operating system first closes down
the file system before powering the system down. If you do not want to shut
down the operating system first, use the osfirst=false parameter. Table 4-30
shows the valid parameters for the command.
NOTE: Due to the limitations of certain operating systems (for example, VMware
ESXi), certain features may not be available with this release of OpenManage
Server Administrator.
Example Shutdown Commands
To set the shutdown action to reboot, type:
omconfig system shutdown action=reboot
or
omconfig servermodule shutdown action=reboot
Table 4-30. Shutdown Parameters
