NOTE: Due to the limitations of certain operating systems (for example, VMware ESXi), certain features are not
available with this release of OpenManage Server Administrator.
Table 50. Valid Parameters Of System Shutdown
name=value pair Description
action=reboot Shuts down the operating system and initiates system startup, performing BIOS checks and
reloading the operating system.
action=poweroff Turns off the electrical power to the system.
action=powercycle Turns off the electrical power to the system, pauses, turns the power on, and reboots the
system. Power cycling is useful when you want to re-initialize system components such as hard
drives.
osfirst=true | false
true: Closes the file system and exits the operating system before shutting down the system.
false: Does not close the file system or shut down the operating system before shutting down
the system.
Example Shutdown Commands
To set the shutdown action to reboot, type:
omconfig system shutdown action=reboot
or
omconfig servermodule shutdown action=reboot
To bypass operating system shutdown before the system is powered off, type:
omconfig system shutdown action=reboot osfirst=false
or
omconfig servermodule shutdown action=reboot osfirst=false
Omconfig System Thrmshutdown Or Omconfig Servermodule Thrmshutdown
Use the omconfig system thrmshutdown or omconfig servermodule thrmshutdown command to configure a thermal
shutdown action. You can configure the system for a thermal shutdown when a temperature probe detects a
temperature probe warning or failure event.
The following table displays the valid parameters for the command:
Table 51. Valid Parameters Of Thermal Shutdown
name=value pair Description
severity=disabled | warning | failure
disabled: Disable thermal shutdown. An administrator must intervene.
warning: Perform a shutdown when a temperature warning event is detected.
A warning event occurs when any temperature probe inside a chassis reads
a temperature (in degree Celsius) that exceeds the maximum temperature
warning threshold value.
failure: Perform a shutdown when a temperature failure event is detected. A
failure event occurs when any temperature probe inside a chassis reads a
temperature (in degree Celsius) that exceeds the maximum temperature
failure threshold value.
