You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to shut
down a system.
To power off your
system, complete the following steps.
- Determine which hosts have access to
volumes on this system by running the lshostvdiskmap command.
- Stop input/output (I/O) to the system from each host that
is listed in step 1.
Note: Failure to stop host I/O can result in failed I/O operations
being reported to your host operating systems.
- Shut down the system by using this command:
- Wait for the power light-emitting diodes
(LEDs) on all node canisters in all control enclosures to flash at
1 Hz, indicating that the shutdown operation has completed.
