Command line 49
Item Description
Syntax
poweroff server [<ServerID> | *] [-Force |
-ForceOnTimeout] [-timeout=<timeout>]
Parameter
ServerID (required)
The reference ID of a physical server in the domain. The format of the server ID is
<EnclosureID:DeviceBay>.
If the Enclosure ID is not provided, then the primary or local enclosure is used by
default. "*" powers off all servers in the domain.
Options
Force
Forces a power off operation without waiting for the OS to shutdown gracefully.
This option should be used 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 (default is 60 seconds), then 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.
