You can shut down either Oracle Database Appliance Version 1 server node using the front
panel power button, or Oracle ILOM. Each method provides a graceful shutdown and an
emergency shutdown option.
Caution - Data loss. To avoid data loss and file system corruption, always use a graceful
shutdown unless it is an emergency.
Note - To use Oracle ILOM to shut down a server node, ensure that you have performed its
initial configuration as described in "Connecting and Configuring Oracle ILOM" in the Oracle
Database Appliance Getting Started Guide.
After you have shut down the server nodes, you can power off the system.
See the following topics in this section to shut down a server node and power off the system
