Omconfig System Shutdown Or Omconfig Servermodule Shutdown

Use the omconfig system shutdown or omconfig servermodule shutdown command to determine the way in which the system shuts down. During system shutdown, the default is to shut down the operating system before powering off the system. Shutting down the operating system first closes down the file system before powering the system down. If you do not want to shut down the operating system first, use the osfirst=false parameter. The following table displays the valid parameters for the command.
  • NOTE: Due to the limitations of certain operating systems (for example, VMware ESXi), certain features are not available with this release of OpenManage Server Administrator.
Table 1. Valid Parameters Of System Shutdown
name=value pair Description
action=reboot Shuts down the operating system and initiates system startup, performing BIOS checks and reloading the operating system.
action=poweroff Turns off the electrical power to the system.
action=powercycle Turns off the electrical power to the system, pauses, turns the power on, and reboots the system. Power cycling is useful when you want to re-initialize system components such as hard drives.
osfirst=true | false

true: Closes the file system and exits the operating system before shutting down the system.

false: Does not close the file system or shut down the operating system before shutting down the system.
