Question What is the difference between power off server-immediate shutdown and power off server-orderly shutdown in IPMI power control? Answer Immediate shutdown forces system to shut down right away. Orderly shutdown gives OS some extra time to complete what it's doing before shutting down. For example, Redhat Linux shuts down after 60 secs if user does not override the timer count down. Was this FAQ helpful?
