X denotes “valid.” b: Command validity on the backup iSP.
2.4.6.1. DF (Shut down System Power <override>) * The command is executable to the active partition (after automatic system boot/UP command execution). Function: This command is used to shut down the system DC power. It shuts down the system power overriding the current OS or BIOS state, notifying nothing to them.
Page 53
Base Module (Description) Description Enter the target partition number at this prompt. If “all” is specified, all the existing partitions are the target of this command. The partition numbers that can be specified depend on models. A confirmation message appears. If you are sure to continue command execution, enter “y.”...
2.4.6.2. DN (Shut down System Power) * The command is executable to the active partition (after automatic system boot/UP command execution). Function: This command is used to shut down the system DC power. It shuts down the system DC power only if the software is not running (not in S0 state). If the system software (OS or BIOS) is running (S0 state), this command only reports a Power Button interrupt to the software.
Base Module 2.4.6.3. DP (System Dump) * The command is executable to the active partition (after automatic system boot/UP command execution). Function: This command causes a Dump interrupt to the system after a system dump is taken. Whether a system dump is actually taken or not, or a system reset is subsequently activated or not, depends on the system software (OS or BIOS).
This command is used to show iSP’s internal real-time clock. (Screen Example … Normal Mode) <ENTER> iSPyz:---> current iSP RTC : 19:20:57,03/31/2005 +09:00 synchronized with NTP server (10.20.30.40) DT command terminated. (Description) Description This command shows the present time before quitting.
Base Module 2.4.6.5. EN (Environmental Information) * Always valid without regard to the current system status. Function: This command is used to list system environmental data including temperature sensor data, FAN error, and so on. Note that part of the environmental monitoring functions are not available to inactive components.
