shutdown issue with DL380 G5

alang — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 07:43:41 GMT

I have a fresh RHAS3u9 install on DL380 G5, but don't get the power off after shutdown.

As I known that DL380 should be certified by RedHat, what do I miss??

Shalom,

You missed the important step of reading the log after the problem.

/var/log/messages

should contain information.

PSP for the sever, I recommend version 7.91 as 8.0 is hopelessly broken may assist in this problem.

Agree with Steven. psp 8.0 is a POS.
We use 7.91 and 7.92 for production servers only and make sure to uninstall the hp-OpenIPMI drivers.
rpm -e hp-OpenIPMI

They caused us much pain and ASR reboots.
