I wan to shutdown an AIX 6.1 server immediately and then bring it up after 4 hours automatically ? Is that possible with shutdown command ?
How to schedule gap between shutdown and bringing up a AIX 6.1 host ?
aix;shutdown
Not possible via shutdown command directly on the server/LPAR. Because if the server is powered off, how should shutdown start it up again? You could only do this from an HMC with a small script, which triggers chsysstate command with e.g. the -o osshutdown --immediate action (same as shutdown -Fh on the server) to shutdown the server/LPAR, and 4 hours later then start it up again via the chsysstate -o on operation.Only other alternative would be to do a normal reboot on the server, but let some script be run once during only the next bootup for e.g. 4 hours via e.g. sleep 1440 and then continue normal boot.Could you elaborate on the reason for doing that as you currently require?
