Shut down management services and power off the HPE Cray EX management Kubernetes cluster.
Important: When performing a complete system shutdown, do NOT start with this page. Refer to System Power Off Procedures for the expected shutdown sequence.
Understand the following concepts before powering off the management non-compute nodes (NCNs) for the Kubernetes cluster and storage:
mon
processes. If one of the storage nodes goes down, then Ceph can rebalance the data onto the remaining nodes and object storage daemons (OSDs) to regain full protection.kubelet process on each node retrieves information from the etcd
cluster about which pods must be running. If a node becomes unavailable for more than five minutes, then Kubernetes creates replacement pods on other management nodes.The sat bootsys command automates the shutdown of Ceph and the Kubernetes management cluster and performs these tasks:
etcd and which freezes the state of the Kubernetes cluster on each management node.kubelet on each management and worker node.containerd on each management and worker node.mon process.sat command. See the “SAT Authentication” section of the HPE Cray EX System Admin Toolkit (SAT) product stream
documentation (S-8031) for instructions on how to acquire a SAT authentication token.sat commands, ensure /root/.bashrc has proper handling of kubectl commands on all master and worker nodes. See Prepare the System for Power OffTo check the health and status of the management cluster before shutdown, see the “Platform Health Checks” section in Validate CSM Health.
Check the health and backup etcd clusters:
Determine which etcd clusters must be backed up and if they are healthy.
Backup etcd clusters.
(ncn-m001#) Check the status of NCN no wipe settings.
Make sure that metal.no-wipe=1. If any management NCNs do not have that set, then review
Check and Set the metal.no-wipe Setting on NCNs before proceeding.

Aborting.
In the preceding example, the commands to stop containers timed out on all the worker nodes and reported WARNING and ERROR messages.
A summary of the issue displays and prompts the user to continue or stop. Respond no to stop the shutdown. Then review the containers running on the nodes.

If the process continues to report errors due to Failed to stop containers, then iterate on the above step. Each iteration should reduce the number of containers running. If necessary,
containers can be manually stopped using crictl stop CONTAINER. If containers are stopped manually, then re-run the above procedure to complete any final steps in the process.
(ncn-m001#) Shut down and power off all management NCNs except ncn-m001.
This command requires input for the IPMI username and password for the management nodes.
Important: The default timeout for the sat bootsys shutdown --stage ncn-power command is 300 seconds. If it is known that
the nodes take longer than this amount of time for a graceful shutdown, then a different value
can be set using --ncn-shutdown-timeout NCN_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT with a value other than 300
for NCN_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT. Once this timeout has been exceeded, the node will be forcefully
powered down.
Shutdown management NCNs.
sat bootsys shutdown --stage ncn-power --ncn-shutdown-timeout 900
Example output:
Proceed with shutdown of other management NCNs? [yes,no] yes

(ncn-m001#) From the serial console of ncn-m001, shut down Linux.
shutdown -h now
Wait until the console indicates that the node has shut down.
(external#) From a remote system that has access to the management plane, power off ncn-m001.

ipmitool -I lanplus -U "${USERNAME}" -E -H NCN-M001_BMC_HOSTNAME chassis power off

(Optional) Power down Modular coolant distribution unit (MDCU) in a liquid-cooled HPE Cray EX20000 cabinet.
CAUTION: The modular coolant distribution unit (MDCU) in a liquid-cooled HPE Cray EX2000 cabinet (also referred to as a Hill or TDS cabinet) typically receives power from its management cabinet PDUs. If the system includes an EX2000 cabinet, then do not power off the management cabinet PDUs. Powering off the MDCU will cause an emergency power off (EPO) of the cabinet and may result in data loss or equipment damage.
Return to System Power Off Procedures and continue with next step.
