Description

HTML-version of where this should probably be added, chapter/section 2.4 http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/csgfs/browse/rh-cs-en/s1-hardware-linux.html Will add to currently published book. Note that in most cases:
chkconfig --del acpid
... and rebooting should be sufficient to disable ACPI soft-off. Because some
machines do not behave well with "acpi=off" in the kernel command line, it is
probably best left as a last resort rather than an initial fix.
* Some machines have toggles in the BIOS setup which allows you to set the power
button to "soft-off", "4-second off", or "instant-off" - you'll always want
"instant-off"
* If acpid is not running (and not enabled during system boot) and the fence
agent still fails to power off the machine immediately, then try adding
"acpi=off" to the kernel boot command line.
Historically, we've told people to do this as well as stop/disable acpid.
Moving this bug to the 4.6 release since 4.5 has already been released. Created attachment 179601 [details]
Excerpt of section, "Configuring ACPI For Use with Integrated Fence Devices" for new chapter, "Before Configuring a Red Hat Cluster" in Cluster Administration Guide
