How to Gracefully shutdown all servers in a chassis
Answer
5/16/12 10:39 PM
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,



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,

James,

This is what I use, you can try it.

Write-Host "All done."

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
