Configuring Smtp Event Notification - Sun Microsystems Fire V20z Management Manual

Stop and Start Options (Continued)
TABLE 1-7
Option Description
Shutdown / The Shutdown/Power Off option shuts down the platform operating
Power Off system and powers off the machine.
The Forced Power Off option bypasses the operating system shutdown
stage. It might cause loss of data. Use the Forced Power Off option if
you must force a shutdown.
After you choose an option and click the check-mark button, the operation is
initiated on the server. The help text displays any processing and results messages.
The current state is reflected in the System Status button, so you can monitor the
progress.
When you "mouse over" the Platform Operating System button, one of these states
displays in the help panel:
Off
■
On
■
Communicating
■
Diagnostics
■
Sleeping
■
BIOS booting
■
BIOS setup
■
OS booting
■
OS shutting down
■
Note – You can perform platform state management from the command line with the
platform sub-commands. See Appendix F of this guide for more information.
If the power currently is off, the Shutdown/Power Off option returns a message that
the option was not executed, due to the current state.
