  • 1.  Best way control shutdown of LPARs and HMC

    I would like to know how others are solving this problem. I want to build scripts to manage the shutdown of my p5-570 LPARs and HMC in the event of power failure. I thought the most logical control place would be the HMC, since that should be the last piece to shutdown. However, the restricted shell of the HMC doesn't provide much functionality. How do others solve this problem? Thanks!

I feel I need a central place to store and run these scripts to shutdown the LPARs, do the power down of the system, etc. I thought the HMC would be the best spot, but I don't think it will work there. Just trying to get a sense for how others do a controlled shutdown of systems in the event of a power failure.
