Hello to eveyone..

We are using rp3440 box..
HP-UX MyMachine B.11.11 U 9000/800 4205714048 unlimited-user license

When I give shutdown command, How can I ensure that system is haled ?

I know I can use MP and look at console, But there should be something easier method.. maybe the LEDs in the front panel ?

TIA..

Re: how to understand system is halted


check System LED States in front panel.

Off -AC power off if power LED is off.
Solid green -Running OS.
Blinking green -Booting or running BCH.
Blinking yellow (1/sec.)- Attention:
Blinking red (2/sec.) -Fault

Hi,

And if you don't want to move from your desk, telnet lanconsole (MP) and take a look at the vfp.

LEDs | LOCATOR | SYSTEM | POWER
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| OFF | ON GREEN | ON GREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Status | System running normally.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can refer to the post of sysadm for color signification.

Hope this helps

But does any LED show system halted.

I mean, when I had given "shutdown -hy now" command and system had reached the halt state.

Does anything change in the front panel ?

Re: how to understand system is halted

If you issue the shutdown command from the (lan-)console, the last lines you see will be:

System has halted
OK to turn off power or reset system
UNLESS "WAIT for UPS to turn off power" message was printed above




Hope this helps!
