Hello
I wonder what is the correct method to shutdown and restart the ClusterBox if it is required?
I am currently using:
sudo halt
sudo reboot
via ClusterBox console.
Sometimes after sudo halt the fan stays running and the power button does not respond to the reboot request. I kindly ask if this method is correct?
I also ask if sudo reboot provides for sending the shutdown to the Blade3 accordingly?
Thanks
clusterbox is positioned as a small server that starts immediately after receiving power, so it supports the reboot command (if mixtile users need to use sudo), and can be powered off if it needs to be shut down
I’ve run shutdown -h now on a node.
I now want it to power back on - nodectl poweron -n 1 doesn’t return an error, but it doesn’t seem to do anything either.
The BMC can’t shut-down nodes - nodectl poweroff isn’t documented, but seems to be implemented. If the BMC can neither shut-down or start-up nodes without someone physically present to pull external power, and can’t apply firmware updates, then the question must be asked about what value it is supposed to provide beyond a slightly more convenient way to access node serial consoles 
While I’m thinking about it, a question: does nodectl reboot perform any kind of graceful showdown on the target node(s), or does it just cut power?
