Note – As of the R3U2 release, Netra CP3260 sysfw 7.2.1 has graceful shutdown support.

Note – To use the graceful shutdown effectively, users must determine a component’s shutdown time “cost,” which depends on hardware, software, and configuration. For example, the default 120 seconds could be too short for a Sun Netra CP3260 blade server with a heavy I/O configuration. Conversely, it could be too long for a Sun Netra CP3220 blade server. Ignorance of the shutdown time could cause a panic during graceful shutdown.

For more information, refer to the following documentation:

Netra CT 900 Server Administration and Reference Manual (819-1177) for ShMM commands.

Netra CT 900 Software Developer’s Guide (819-1178) for IPMI commands.

Even if you are using a third-party chassis, the commands and options apply, and these documents are available online:

B.4 Send Sensor State Command

Send Sensor State is used by the firmware progress sensor or any other sensor that intends to send sensor states to the IPM controller (IPMC). The IPMC uses this information to put a sensor in the correct state and send the event data to the system event log.
