Supported actions: help, poweroff, poweron, reboot, show
Item Description
poweroff server
Power off one or more physical servers.
Syntax
poweroff server <ServerID|*> [-Force|-ForceOnTimeout]
[-timeout=<timeout>]
Parameter
ServerID (required)
The ID of a physical server in the domain. The format of the server ID is
<EnclosureID:DeviceBay>. If the EnclosureID is not specified, the local
enclosure is used by default. Use "*" to power off all servers in the domain. For a
multi-blade server, the ServerID must be that of the monarch bay. This is the ID
displayed by the
show server
command.
Options
Force
Forces a power off operation without waiting for the operating system to shut down
gracefully. Only use this option as a last resort, because it can cause potential data
loss on the server.
ForceOnTimeout
Attempts a graceful shutdown, but if the server does not shut down within the
timeout period (60 seconds by default), the server is forced to power off.
Timeout
Specifies the timeout period (in seconds) to wait for the operation to complete (per
server). The default timeout is 60 seconds.
