Solutionwhether the POWER_OFF shutdown feature is supported depends on the type of system used and maybe also on the console firmware version.
If you've tested this option and your machine do not power off, there is not much you can do. Just have a look into the release notes, if a more recent firmware may support this option on your class of machines.

Re: Using Sysman to shutdown & power off systems
To amplify what Volker mentioned.
Check the processor manuals carefully (as well as the manuals for your storage arrays). The ability to power off MAY be conditioned on some hardware settings and wiring.
For example, the action on HALT/REBOOT action is controlled by a variety of settings. The ability to power off may be similar (and may depend on each model CPU, etc.).
A careful reading of the appropriate hardware manuals is in order.
I would personally be more worried about the storage arrays than the CPUs.

Re: Using Sysman to shutdown & power off systems
In the worst case, you can power down the arrays externally from an external power controller (Caution: powering things down this way can be problematical -- I have seen sites belatedly realize that they had bad batteries -- after powering down and losing their cache contents).
Better might be to leave the arrays powered, but spin down the drives themselves. That would require investigation.
Going further, you might be able to do some elegant things, but as usual, the devil is in the details.
