You can use the Hardware Management Console (HMC) user interface to
stop the system or a logical partition. Use the following steps to
accomplish this task.
By
default, the managed system is set to power off automatically when
you shut down the last running logical partition on the managed system.
If you set the managed system properties on the HMC so that the managed
system does not power off automatically, you must use this procedure
to power off your managed system.
Attention: If possible,
shut down the running logical partitions on the managed system before
powering off the managed system. Powering off the managed system without
shutting down the logical partitions first causes the logical partitions
to shut down abnormally and can cause data loss. If you use a Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) logical partition,
ensure that all clients are shut down or that the clients have access
to their devices using an alternate method.
To power off
a managed system, you must be a member of one of the following roles:
- Super administrator
- Service representative
- Operator
- Product engineer
