See also LTC bug 46067 - RIT 190135 - Power Button not working on Cell Blades to shutdown the blade for more information. IBM is signed up to test and provide feedback. *** Bug 46067 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Hello Red Hat, fyi ... for this RHEL5.4 feature request also the most current BMC firmware for QS22 from http://www-304.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?brandind=5000008&lndocid=MIGR-5073832 has to be installed on the QS22 ... ... and this feature works only on QS22, not on QS21. Thanks for your support. RHKL post 1/2: http://post-office.corp.redhat.com/archives/rhkernel-list/2009-January/msg00669.html 2/2: http://post-office.corp.redhat.com/archives/rhkernel-list/2009-January/msg00670.html this test procedure can be used to test the powerbutton: 1. ssh into the machine with X forwarding (or use a vnc session) 2. run "modprobe cbe_powerbutton" 3. run "gnome-power-preferences" and configure "shutdown" as action for powerbutton (default is "ask me") 4. run "gnome-power-manager" 5. press the powerbutton System will power down now. To have gnome-power-manager without X forwarding one would need to start gdm (and thus gnome-power-manager) on top of Xvnc or Xvfb. Updating PM score. in kernel-2.6.18-133.el5 You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5 Please do NOT transition this bugzilla state to VERIFIED until our QE team has sent specific instructions indicating when to do so.
