HP StorageWorks 9100 Extreme Data Storage System administration guide V1.0.2 (AN540-96018, February 2010)

Shutting down servers and the entire system
Use the shutdown server command to shut down and turn off the power to the servers in the
system, as shown in the example:
# exdsmgr shutdown server 2-4
where 2-4 are server numbers.
The shutdown server attempts to perform a controlled shutdown. If this takes too long to perform,
the server is powered off (put into standby state). The timeout is specified by the wait option. You
can power off a server (without attempting to shutdown) by specifying a wait timeout of 0 (zero) as
shown in the example:
# exdsmgr shutdown server 3 wait=0
NOTE:
Do not use the exdsmgr shutdown server command to shut down the server where you are
running exdsmgr.
To power off the entire system, enter the exdsmgr shutdown command as shown in the example:
# exdsmgr shutdown server 1-8
NOTE:
The exdsmgr shutdown server command orders the shutdowns so that the server that is currently
the utility database is shutdown last. If this is not the server where you ran the exdsmgr shutdown
command, you could lose connectivity to the server where you ran the command. However, the
shutdown proceeds to completion.
Viewing license information
The HP ExDS9100 Storage System comes fully licensed for operation. To view license information,
enter the show license command as shown in the example:
Using external hostnames to run applications on the server
The private management network should be used only for carrying system management network
traffic. To run a user application on the server, use a hostname that can send the application's traffic
over an external interface, for example, glory1–ext2. For subsequent hostnames, use a similar
naming convention, for example, glory2–ext2.
