shutdown
Synopsis:
The shutdown command enables or disables a specific interface card in the system chassis.
The shutdown command enables or disables the Ethernet Management port.
The shutdown command enables or disables the Management-InfiniBand port.
Syntax:
shutdown
no shutdown
Command Modes:
Configuration Card (config-card) mode.
Privilege Level:
Unrestricted or card-specific read-write user.
Usage Guidelines:
Enabling/Disabling a card:
A card must be enabled, or brought up, before it can be configured. Enter this command after the card type
command to bring up each card in the chassis. You may enter this command at any time to disable a card
while in the current configuration mode.
When an interface card is placed out-of-service, the power is turned off for that card and it no longer processes
packets. The system-image resident on the card cannot be deleted or updated when the card is down. Unless
you have cause to do otherwise, make sure all the expansion modules and switch cluster connections are up
before attempting to update the system-image.
Enabling/Disabling the Ethernet Management Port:
Note: The Ethernet Management port must be enabled, or brought up, before it can be configured. Enter this
command before assigning the port IP and gateway addresses (some gateway functions are not supported by
HP Fabric Clustering System).
The Ethernet Management port does not have to be specifically identified, like the ports of expansion
modules. This is because there is only one active Ethernet Management port on the chassis.
When the Ethernet Management port is disabled, its current configuration remains intact. If there are
problems configuring the Ethernet Management port, first check that the admin-status field in show
interface mgmt-ethernet output is set to up.
Enabling/Disabling the Management-InfiniBand port:
The Management-InfiniBand port provides Telnet, SSH, and Element Manager access from HP Fabric
Clustering System hosts running IPoIB that are connected to any of the HP Fabric Clustering System ports
on the system HP Fabric Clustering System interface (Element Manager GUI is not supported in the HP
Fabric Clustering System initial release).
