About the Remote Shutdown Feature
When the Remote Shutdown Agent is installed on the server and the Shutdown feature is configured on the PDU,
the following shutdown process occurs:
1. The Off or Reboot command is received by the PDU.
2. Shutdown signal is sent to the Remote Shutdown Agent on the target server.
3. The Remote Shutdown Agent initiates a systematic shutdown of the target server for all actions that
remove power from the outlet (such as the Off and Reboot commands), and allows the execution of
user-defined scripts to perform custom activities, like safely shutting down open databases.
4. The PDU removes power from the outlet.
