Installation guide
1.7.12. Action for Machine / Turn off LED
Requests a target machine to turn off the LED indicator.
This action can be executed in parallel with other operations on the same machine.
1.7.13. Action for Machine / Replace Machine
Replaces a target machine with a machine standing by in a pool or shared pool.
If SystemProvisioning failed to shut down the target machine, SystemProvisioning
executes Power OFF to the machine immediately.
The replaced machine is stood by in a group pool.
1.7.14. Action for machine / Replace machine(Immediate Power
OFF)
Replaces a target machine with a machine standing by in a pool or shared pool.
SystemProvisioning does not shut down the target machine and executes Power OFF
to the machine immediately.
The replaced machine is stood by in a group pool.
1.7.15. Action for machine / Diagnose and Power OFF
Diagnoses status of a target machine and if the machine can be powered off, executes
Power OFF to the machine immediately.
First, this action diagnoses whether SystemProvisioning can recover the failed
machine or not by the diagnosis function in detail. If the failed machine is a virtual
machine server (VMware or XenServer), SystemProvisioning executes the function.
By the result of diagnosis, if SystemProvisioning judges that the machine does not
need the recovery process or that SystemProvisioning should not execute the recovery
process at the timing because of the circumstances, the process ends with an error. If
SystemProvisioning judges that there is a possibility of recovery of the machine,
SystemProvisioning starts the Power OFF process of the failed machine to recover the
machine.
In the Power OFF process, SystemProvisioning checks whether it can connect to a
failed virtual machine server or not firstly, and if SystemProvisioning cannot connect to
the virtual machine server, the power control through DPM shuts down powered on
virtual machines on the virtual machine server. This shut down is for keeping the virtual
machines as safe as possible, supposing the status that although the management
server cannot access to the virtual machine server, the virtual machine server is not
actually down.
