Example Recovery Commands

To set the action on hung operating system detection to powercycle, type:

omconfig system recovery action=powercycle

omconfig servermodule recovery action=powercycle

omconfig system recovery timer=120

omconfig servermodule recovery timer=120

Omconfig System Shutdown Or Omconfig Servermodule Shutdown

Use the omconfig system shutdown or omconfig servermodule shutdown command to determine how 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.

NOTE: The parameter osfirst=false is not available on 13th generation and later systems. By default, on 13th generation

and later systems, the operating system shuts down before turning off the server during a remote shutdown.

The following table displays the valid parameters for the command.

Table 73. 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 on the power, and reboots the system. Power

cycling is useful when you want to reinitialize system components such as hard drives.

osfirst=true | false

true: Closes the file system and exits the operating system before turning off the server.

false: Does not close the file system or shuts down the operating system before turning off the server.

NOTE: This command osfirst=false is not available on 13G and later systems. By default, on 13G

and later systems, the operating system shuts down before turning off the server during a

remote shutdown.

Example Shutdown Commands

To set the shutdown action to reboot, type:

omconfig system shutdown action=reboot

omconfig servermodule shutdown action=reboot

To bypass operating system shutdown before the system is powered off, type:

omconfig system shutdown action=reboot osfirst=false

omconfig servermodule shutdown action=reboot osfirst=false
