Use the Power Off Managed System window to shut down the managed system.
Before you power off the managed system, ensure that all logical partitions have been shut down and that their states have changed from Running to Ready. If you do not shut down all logical partitions on the managed system before you power off the managed system, the managed system shuts down each logical partition before the managed system itself powers off. This can cause a substantial delay in powering off the managed system, particularly if the logical partitions are not responsive. Further, the logical partitions might shut down abnormally, which could result in data loss and further delays when you activate the logical partitions one more.
Choose from the following options:
Normal power off: The system ends all active jobs in a controlled manner. During that time, programs running in those jobs are allowed to perform cleanup (end-of-job processing).
Fast power off: The system ends all active jobs immediately. The programs running in those jobs are not allowed to perform any cleanup.
