Introduction
 | If TruView is not working properly, try restarting all services first. |
To minimize the chance of data corruption and the loss of data, it is required to use the provided scripts for rebooting and shutdown of the underlying physical server or virtual machine. The risk of data corruption is very real on a heavily loaded system.
Solution
Reboot
You don't have to be root to reboot the server.
- Using the SSH client of your choice, login as TVadmin
- Change to /opt/tv
$ cd /opt/tv
- Run the reboot script
$ ./tv-reboot.sh
Shutdown
You don't have to be root to shutdown the server.
Make sure iDRAC Virtual Console is accessible or someone is physically present in the datacenter to power on the server if needed.
- Log in as TVadmin with SSH
- Change to /opt/tv
$ cd /opt/tv
- Run the shutdown script
$ ./tv-shutdown.sh
It may take several minutes before the power is cut-off.
