James,



The snippet generated by ConvertTo-UcsCmdlet is the most relevant sequence to issue soft-shut-down to an associated service profile.



What exactly is the operation you are trying to do ?

Get-UcsBlade -Chassis 1 | Get-UcsServiceProfile | SetUcsServerPower -State "soft-shut-down"
does not map to MIT/MO model well.



Thanks,

Subject: New Message from James Shen in Unified Computing UCS Manager - Microsoft Discussions: How to Gracefully shutdown all servers in a chassis



James Shen has created a new message in the forum "Microsoft Discussions":

--------------------------------------------------------------
What would be the most efficient way to do this ?

The output of "ConvertTo-UcsCmdlet" generated the following for the blade in 1/8

Get-UcsOrg -Level root | Get-UcsOrg -Name "ESX" -LimitScope | Get-UcsServiceProfile -Name "ESX-1-8" -LimitScope | Get-UcsServerPower | Set-UcsServerPower -State "soft-shut-down"



I would imagine this should be something like this with pipelining :

Get-UcsBlade -Chassis 1 | Get-UcsServiceProfile | SetUcsServerPower -State "soft-shut-down"


Thanks

James S

Forgot to mention, that will shutdown servers in all chassis.

Replace
"Get-UcsBlade"
with
"Get-UcsBlade -Chassis 1"

then you can shutdown all servers in that chassis
