Compute node does not power off

Complete the following steps until the problem is solved.

  1. Attempt to power off the compute node through the IBM Flex System Manager user interface, if an IBM Flex System Manager management node is installed. Otherwise, attempt to power off the compute node through the CMM user interface.
  2. Attempt to restart the system-management processor for the compute node. You can restart the system-management processor through the CMM user interface. Click the compute node in the chassis view and then click Restart System Mgmt Processor. After the system-management processor has been restarted, attempt to power off the compute node from the CMM.
  3. Attempt to power off the compute node by using the power button on the front of the node.
  4. Attempt to reset the compute node from the CMM command-line interface (CLI) by using the reset command.
  5. Reseat the CMM; then, perform steps 1-4 again.
