Automatic Termination Of Operating Systems And Server Switch-Off - Fujitsu Siemens Computers SX series User Manual

Operating concept of the SX servers
2.6.1.2

Automatic termination of operating systems and server switch-off

An SX server with SMC is switched off in the same way it is switched on, i.e. via the SCS
Machine Administration Menu on the SMC. When the server is switched off, the Solaris
systems in the Solaris partitions are terminated automatically, BS2000 in the BS2000 parti-
tions is terminated with a shutdown command and then, finally, X2000 is terminated (see
also "Definition of the BS2000 shutdown command" on
PRIMEPOWER ServerView online help).
In cases where application dependencies have to be taken into account, it is advisable to
terminate the individual operating systems one-by-one in order to be able to monitor the
progress of these actions.
Solaris systems are set to Run-Level 5, i.e. Power Off. This means that the corresponding
partition is already terminated.
In BS2000 partitions, the BS2000 shutdown occurs first. Following this, the partition must
then be switched off via the Machine Administration Menu at the system console (see
section
system.
When the last partition on the server is switched off, the entire server itself is also
automatically terminated.
The system console (SMC) should always be left running to permit the continued (remote
if necessary) administration of the server. This is particularly important if a schedule for
automatic switch-on/switch-off via APCS has been activated (for more information, see
section "Switching the server on/off on a scheduled basis" on page
U41272-J-Z385-3-76
"Switching partitions
Operating sequences on server switch-on / switch-off
off" on page 65). This automatically terminates the X2000
page 216 and the corresponding
66).
