Shutdown Parameter Setting for Network Management Card

The following procedure is an example of entering the settings through the Network Management Card
for a graceful shutdown of selected devices.
NOTE:
See Table 6 on page 132 for a complete list of Dell Command User Interface (CUI) commands.
1 Go to the installation path.
2 Enter ./CuiManager to start the CuiManager (see Figure 125).
3 Search for a single device by entering search4 and the device network IP address, or search for multiple
devices within a range.
For example:
search4 -ip 172.18.127.1 -ip 172.18.127.254 -c public
All devices in the network IP address from 172.18.127.1 to 172.18.127.254 are added.

timeout period has expired.
Puts the host into standby mode if supported and the Baseboard Management/
Intelligent Platform Management Interface Controller (BMC/IPMI) is configured. If
the host is not supported and the BMC/IPMI is not configured to standby, the
operation defaults to shutdown.
Provides a detailed log output of execution without performing any actions to the host
or guest operating systems.
Provides summary of the current configured auto startup/power down priority list if
configured. This parameter also aides in user selecting an appropriate timeout value to
set.
Description
Shuts the guest operating system down which, or after the timeout period has expired.
Suspends the guest operating system (recommended action because it is quicker than
a shutdown).
Uses the configured auto power down configuration.
