5.2.4 Powering Off a Connecting Physical Partition


5.2.4 Powering Off a Connecting Physical Partition
This section describes the procedure for powering off a connecting physical partition. This applies if the system has a building block configuration and is operating in multiple physical partitions.
Note - Before stopping the system, inform the users that the system will be stopped.
Note - When a physical partition is stopped by operating the XSCF command or the operation panel, all the logical domains on the physical partition are stopped. Stop applications as required.
  1. Log in to the XSCF shell.
  1. Execute the showpparstatus command to confirm the operating condition of the physical partition.
    In the following example, [PPAR STATUS] displays "Running" for PPAR-ID 00, indicating that the physical partition is operating.
XSCF> showpparstatus -p 0
PPAR-ID PPAR Status
00 Running
  1. Execute the showdomainstatus command to confirm the operating condition of the logical domain.
    In the following example, [Status] of the logical domain displays "Solaris running", which indicates that Oracle Solaris is operating.
XSCF> showdomainstatus -p 0
Logical Domain Name Status
primary Solaris running
4S-159-D0-G0 Solaris running
4S-159-D0-G1 Solaris running
4S-159-D0-G2 Solaris running
  1. Execute the showboards command to check the status of the chassis for the connecting physical partition.
    The BB-ID of the chassis for the connecting physical partition is displayed as a system board (PSB) number.
    In the following example, we can see that [PPAR-ID] of PSB 00-0 is "00".
XSCF> showboards -a
PSB PPAR-ID(LSB) Assignment Pwr Conn Conf Test Fault
---- ------------ ----------- ---- ---- ---- ------- --------

00-0 00(00) Assigned y y y Passed Normal
01-0 00(01) Assigned y y y Passed Normal
02-0 00(02) Assigned y y y Passed Normal
03-0 00(03) Assigned y y y Passed Normal
  1. Execute the poweroff command to stop all the logical domains on the connecting physical partition.
    Enter "y" in response to the confirmation message.
XSCF> poweroff -p 0
PPAR-IDs to power off:00
Continue? [y|n] :y
00 : Powering off


*Note*
This command only issues the instruction to power-off.
The result of the instruction can be checked by the "showpparprogress".
  1. Execute the showpparstatus command to confirm that the power to the physical partition is turned off.
    In the following example, [PPAR Status] of PPAR-ID 00 displays "Powered Off", which indicates that the power to the physical partition has been turned off.
XSCF> showpparstatus -p 0
PPAR-ID PPAR Status
00 Powered Off
