Power Down the Cluster
007-5474-003 13
Power Down the Cluster
Note: You can also use the baseboard management controller (BMC) interface to perform power
management and other administrative functions. Refer to the SGI Altix XE340 Users Guide,
publication number 007-5536-00x, for more information about the BMC interface. See the SGI
Altix XE320 Users Guide, publication number 007-5466-00x for information on its BMC.
Remote power management is done via Platform Managers GUI or CLI. Remote power
command communicate directly with the BMC via the ipmitool. Login to the head node as root,
and use the commands to manage the system. Note that the scash command is used under the
operating system only for remote shutdown or reboots of all or some of the cluster servers.
Typical usage:
scash /opt/scali/sbin/power [option] [nodelist <on|off|cycle|status>]
Example:
The following command shuts down (halts) cluster nodes 001 through 004:
scash -p -n cl1n /opt/scali/sbin/power [001-004] -halt
If all the system compute servers in the cluster are called “cl1”, you can use the cluster name to
shutdown (halt) them:
scash -p -n cl1 /opt/scali/sbin/power -halt
If your cluster uses the Platform Manage administrative software (release 5.7.x) or later, you can
power-off, power-on or power-cycle specific nodes or the entire system using the graphical user
interface. Select the cluster or individual nodes or the entire system using the graphical user
interface. Select the cluster or individual nodes from the cluster, then select
Management Menu>Power Mgt>Power Off/On/Cycle.
The compute nodes can be halted from the Platform GUI by selecting the nodes and choosing “halt
system” and “power down” from the System
Management menu. As referenced previously, a
command line interface (CLI) is also available to power-on/off or check status.
If the operating system is running the selected nodes, they can be halted or rebooted from the
Platform Manager GUI by choosing “Shutdown” or “Reboot” from the Management menu.
Alternatively, the Platform Manager scash parallel command can also be used from the
management headnode to halt or reboot a node or nodes. Refer to the Platform Manage Users
Guide for more information. You must have root privileges to perform these types of tasks.
