5.2.5 Stopping the Entire System


5.2.5 Stopping the Entire System
This section describes the procedure for stopping the entire system. To undertake system-stopped maintenance, power off all the physical partitions to stop the entire system before physically removing any FRU.
Stop the system in either of the following ways.
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. Stop the entire system.
    For details, see "a) Stopping the system with the XSCF command" or "b) Stopping the system from the operation panel."
  2. Execute the showpparstatus command to confirm that the power to the physical partition is turned off.
    In the following example, [PPAR Status] displays "Powered Off" for PPAR-IDs 00, 01, and 02, indicating that the power to all the physical partitions has been turned off.
XSCF> showpparstatus -a
PPAR-ID PPAR Status
00 Powered Off
01 Powered Off

02 Powered Off
  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 powering down", which indicates that Oracle Solaris is shutting down.
XSCF> showdomainstatus -p 0
Logical Domain Name Status
primary Solaris powering down
4S-159-D0-G0 Solaris powering down
4S-159-D0-G1 Solaris powering down
4S-159-D0-G2 Solaris powering down
a) Stopping the system with the XSCF command
  1. Confirm that the mode switch on the operation panel is in Service mode.
  1. Log in to the XSCF shell.
  2. Execute the poweroff command.
    Enter "y" in response to the confirmation message.
    In the following example, the displayed status of PPAR-IDs 00, 01, and 02 is "Powering off," so you can see that the power-off instruction for the physical partition completed successfully.
XSCF> poweroff -a
PPAR-IDs to power off:00,01,02
Continue? [y|n] :y
00 : Powering off

01 : Powering off

02 : Powering off
  1. The following processes are performed.
    - Oracle Solaris is completely shut down.

    - The system stops and enters the POWERON READY state (The XSCF is running).

    For details, see "6.2.3 Stopping the Whole System" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 System Operation and Administration Guide.
Note - The order in which guest domains shut down depends on the shut-down group setting of Oracle VM Server for SPARC.
  1. Check that the POWER LED on the operation panel is off.
Note - For a building block configuration, check the POWER LEDs on all the chassis that make up the system.
  1. Execute the showpparstatus command to confirm that the power to the physical partition is turned off.
    In the following example, [PPAR Status] displays "Powered Off" for PPAR-IDs 00, 01, and 02, indicating that the power to all the physical partitions has been turned off.
XSCF> showpparstatus -a
PPAR-ID PPAR Status
00 Powered Off

01 Powered Off

02 Powered Off
  1. Execute the showdomainstatus command to check the operating condition of the logical domain.
    In the following example, [Status] displays "Solaris powering down" for the logical domains, indicating that Oracle Solaris is shutting down.
XSCF> showdomainstatus -p 0
Logical Domain Name Status
primary Solaris powering down
4S-159-D0-G0 Solaris powering down
4S-159-D0-G1 Solaris powering down
4S-159-D0-G2 Solaris powering down
b) Stopping the system from the operation panel
  1. Confirm that the mode switch on the operation panel is in Service mode.
  1. Press the power switch on the operation panel for 4 seconds or more.
    For details, see "2.2.2 Control Function of the Operation Panel."
Note - Press the POWER switch on the master chassis. The power switches of the other chassis are disabled.
  1. Check that the POWER LED on the operation panel is off.
Note - For a building block configuration, check the POWER LEDs on all the chassis that make up the system.
  1. Execute the showpparstatus command to confirm that the power to the physical partition is turned off.
    In the following example, [PPAR Status] displays "Powered Off" for PPAR-IDs 00, 01, and 02, indicating that the power to all the physical partitions has been turned off.
XSCF> showpparstatus -a
PPAR-ID PPAR Status
00 Powered Off

01 Powered Off

02 Powered Off
  1. Execute the showdomainstatus command to check the operating condition of the logical domain.
    In the following example, [Status] displays "Solaris powering down" for the logical domains, indicating that Oracle Solaris is shutting down.
XSCF> showdomainstatus -p 0
Logical Domain Name Status
primary Solaris powering down
4S-159-D0-G0 Solaris powering down
4S-159-D0-G1 Solaris powering down
4S-159-D0-G2 Solaris powering down
