poweroff devicebay
The -poweroff devicebay command sends a power-off request to Virtual Connect Manager
for a given bay.
Syntax
-poweroff devicebay –enclosurename <enclosurename> —bayname <bayname>
[-force|-forceontimeout]
Parameters
Table 29 Parameter descriptions for -poweroff devicebay
Optional Required Description Parameter
x Specifies the name of the
enclosure that contains the
bay to be powered off. -enclosurename
x Specifies the name of the
bay to be powered off.
NOTE: For a multiblade
server, the bay name must
be the name of the primary
bay.
-bayname
x Forces a power-off operation
without waiting for the OS -force
to shut down normally. This
option should be used only
as a last resort because it
can cause data loss on the
server.
x Attempts a normal power off
operation, but if the server -forceontimeout
does not power off within
the timeout period (default
is 3600 seconds), it is
forced to power off.
Output
The result of the power-off operation. If –nb is in effect for the command, nothing is returned, and
you can verify the results of the command by polling -show power-status for the enclosure
bay.
