Shutting Down Using The Cisco IMC CLI
The Server Power Management dialog opens. This dialog lists all servers that are present in the system.
Step 4
In the Server Power Management dialog, select Shut Down for the server that you want to shut down. Shut Down
performs a graceful shutdown of the operating system.
To avoid data loss or damage to your operating system, you should always invoke a graceful shutdown of the
Note
operating system. Do not power off a node if any firmware or BIOS updates are in progress.
• It is safe to remove the node from the chassis when the Chassis Status pane shows the Power State as Off for the
node that you are removing.
• The physical power button on the node also turns amber when it is safe to remove the node from the chassis.
• The Server Power Management dialog also has a Power Off option, but you should use Shut down as a best
practice. The Power Off option is a forced shutdown that powers off the chosen node even if tasks are running on
that server. Use Power Off only if the Shut Down option does not complete successfully.
