Stopping the system

Learn how to stop the system to complete another task.
Procedure
You can use the Linux shutdown command to stop and power down the system.
For example, the following command will shut down the system in 10 minutes and send the message
"Repairs coming." to the users.
shutdown -P +10 "Repairs coming."
The -P setting instructs the system to shut down and then power down. The + indicates the time in
minutes before the shutdown occurs.

Event sensor status GUI display

The event sensor status GUI display is a way to quickly determine the general health status of the server
without having to look at the detailed system event log (SEL) information.
To view the event sensor status GUI display, log in to the BMC web interface. The sensors and values
appear on the first page (the dashboard).
Some occurrences of errors in the system might not appear in the event sensor GUI. After you view the
event sensor status GUI display, use the SEL logs to view any active SEL events that indicate a service
action event.
Event sensor status display operation
Most sensors are initially gray, then change status and color during the boot process when the FRU is
initialized and either determined to be good (green) or faulty (red). No sensor display is available until
you can get to the sensor display selection on the BMC, which means that the system attains a certain
power level or that the BMC finishes initializing. The indicator color of the sensor is determined based on
the sensor status at time of invocation of the display. The sensor display maintains the sensor status
indicator color until the display is refreshed, which updates the sensor value with the latest status.
Changes to SEL events changes color of sensor indicator when you refresh or restart the display. Sensor
