procedure power off viprion os 17.1.x

Hi

what is procedure to power off host viprion device, os version is 17.1.x and with vcmp guest,

based on this article : https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K11333

clsh shutdown -h now

and this article have different command : https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K14302

clsh shutdown now

 

  • Hi Anzine321​ ,

    FYI

    • clsh shutdown -h now is the correct and recommended command for a graceful shutdown of all blades in a VIPRION chassis (K11333).
    • clsh shutdown now (without -h) is referenced in K14302 in the context of shutting down the vCMP host, but the more complete and widely recommended syntax is 
      clsh shutdown -h now for a full halt.

    Both commands will initiate a shutdown, but -h (halt) is the standard Linux flag to ensure the system is halted and ready for power-off. Using -h now is the safest and most explicit method.
