Question

When replacing a standalone C-Series server which order will be used to shut down the server via CIMC?

Options

AClick Power off, Click Shut off
BClick Power off, Click Shut down
CClick Host power, Click Shut off
DClick Host power, Click Shut down

Explanation

In Cisco CIMC for a standalone C-Series server, a graceful shutdown is performed by clicking 'Power off' to open the power menu and then selecting 'Shut down'.

Common mistakes.

A. 'Shut off' performs an immediate hard power cut without allowing the operating system to shut down gracefully, making it inappropriate for a planned server replacement.
C. 'Host power' is not the correct label for the power management menu in CIMC; the proper menu entry is labeled 'Power off', making this navigation path invalid.
D. While 'Shut down' is the correct final action, 'Host power' is not the correct CIMC menu label - the menu used to initiate shutdown is 'Power off', not 'Host power'.
