2. Check the VFP status to see whether any cabinet hardware is running an operating system (OS). Any nPartition whose state is "OS heartbeat" is running an OS and thus should not have its hardware powered off until after the OS is shut down. Type ^b (Control-b) to exit the VFP. 3. Shut down the OS running on any cabinet hardware that you plan to power off. 4. Confirm that nobody else is using or servicing the cabinet hardware you plan to power on or off. Both physically inspect the hardware and check whether others are remotely accessing the service processor (using the WHO command at the Command menu). 5. Access the service processor Command menu, issue the PE command, then select the cabinet to power on or power off. From the service processor Main menu, enter CM to access the Command menu. To exit the Command menu enter MA. When using the PE command enter B to power on or off a cabinet; specify the cabinet number; and then enter ON (power on), OFF (power off), or Q (quit without changing the power status). GSP:CM> PE This command controls power enable to a hardware device. B - Cabinet C - Cell I - IO Chassis Select Device: b Enter cabinet number: 1 The power state is ON for Cabinet 1. In what state do you want the power? (ON/OFF) Powering Cells and I/O Chassis On and Off You can power on or power off cells and I/O chassis by using any one of the following procedures: • "Powering Cells and I/O Chassis On and Off (Service Processor)" (page 207) • "Powering Cells and I/O Chassis On and Off (nPartition Commands)" (page 208) • "Powering Cells and I/O Chassis On and Off (Partition Manager)" (page 208) You can control power for cells and I/O chassis from remote locations, without physically accessing the system hardware. NOTE: On HP nPartition systems, powering on a cell also powers on any I/O chassis attached to the cell, and powering off a cell also powers off any I/O chassis attached to the cell. Powering on or off an I/O chassis connected to a powered-on cell causes the cell to reset if the cell located and mapped the I/O chassis during its cell boot process. The frupower command and Partition Manager permit you to power on or off inactive cells and I/O chassis that are assigned to the current nPartition or are not assigned to any nPartition. The PE command at the service processor Command menu permits you to power on or off any hardware in the complex, including active cells and I/O chassis. The PE command does not check the current usage of components. 206 Managing Hardware Resources
