Chapter 1 XSCF Overview

1-9

The user can power on and off the server by using XSCF as follows:

■

Power on/off the server or a domain

The user can turn on, turn off, or reset the server by using the XSCF Shell
command from a remote terminal, which is connected to XSCF over a LAN or
serial connection. When the user instructs power off, the OS is automatically shut
down, and then power will be turned off.

■

Cancelling power on when an error is detected

If a system abnormality occurs, the OS is automatically shut down, and the
subsequent power on will not be started. This can minimize damage to the
system.

■

OS startup control for power failure

XSCF performs the operations below if a power failure that causes the system to
turn off occurs:

■

When a power failure occurs:

XSCF performs emergency power off when the power failure occurs. In a model
connected to a UPS, any running domains may also be shut down automatically.
For a momentary power failure, XSCF may allow the system to continue working
without any shutting down.

■

When power is restored:

The system can be set up such that XSCF automatically turns on the power to the
server, then starts up the domains, relieving the system administrator of extra
work.

Note –

For details on operation settings for a power failure, see

Section 4.4.10,
