Powering Down The Server; Power Down The Server Gracefully Using Oracle Ilom Cli - Oracle Exadata X10M Service Manual

Powering Down the Server

Gracefully shut down the server host to prevent data from being corrupted. Performing
a graceful shutdown ensures that the system is ready for restart. If the server is not
responding, or you must shut down the server quickly, perform an immediate
shutdown.
Note:
Some server components, such as storage drives, power supplies, fan
modules, and M.2 flash SSDs are hot-pluggable. Components that are hot-
pluggable do not require the server to be powered down when performing
service procedures.
Determine how you want to power down the server by reviewing the following options.
