7. If you want rx7620 or rx8620 server hardware to power off when the shutdown -h command
or poweroff command is issued, run the acpiconfig enable softpowerdown
command from the EFI shell and reset the nPartition to make the ACPI configuration take
effect.
The normal behavior on rx7620 and rx8620 servers is for an nPartition to be made inactive
(all cells are in a boot-is-blocked state) when shutdown -h or poweroff is issued from
the SLES command line. This behavior is established with the acpiconfig disable
powerdown setting, which is the normal setting for the single-pci-domain ACPI configuration.
On HP Integrity Superdome servers, an nPartition is always made inactive when halted
from the operating system (for example, after shutdown -h), and this behavior cannot be
changed.
When softpowerdown is enabled on an rx7620 or rx8620 server, if one nPartition is defined
in the server then halting the operating system powers off the server cabinet (including all
cells and I/O chassis). On an rx7620 or rx8620 server with multiple nPartitions, halting the
operating system from an nPartition with softpowerdown enabled causes only the resources
on the local nPartition to be powered off.
You can run the acpiconfig command with no arguments to check the current setting
and the softpowerdown setting; however, softpowerdown information is displayed only
when different from normal behavior.
