HP Virtual Connect 4Gb Fibre Channel Module for c-Class BladeSystem - Manual (Page 59)

Command line 59
Item Description
displayed by the show server command.
Options
Force Forces a power off operation without waiting for the OS to shutdown gracefully.
This option should only be used as a last resort because it can cause potential data
loss on the server.
ForceOnTimeout Attempts a graceful shutdown, but if the server does not shut down within the
timeout period (default is 60 seconds), then the server is forced to power off.
Timeout Specifies the timeout period (in seconds) to wait for the operation to complete (per
server). The default timeout is 60 seconds.
