Automated shutdown methodology for a tiered system

摘要

According to one embodiment, a method includes receiving, at a host, an instruction to execute a command that instructs at least one system at a site and in communication with the host via one or more fiber channels to each execute a script, the script being for automatically shutting down components of the at least one system in an order defined by the script, and issuing the command to the at least one system at the site via the one or more fiber channels.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving, at a host, an instruction to execute a command that instructs at least one system at a site and in communication with the host via one or more fibre channels to each execute a script, the script being for automatically shutting down components of the at least one system in an order defined by the script; and issuing the command to the at least one system at the site via the one or more fibre channels, wherein the command also instructs at least one of:
a) a second host to execute a second command that instructs at least one other system at the site and in communication with the second host to execute a second script, the second script being for automatically shutting down components of the at least one other system in an order defined by the second script,b) at least one system at a second site and in communication with the host to execute a second script, the second script being for automatically shutting down components of the at least one system at the second site in an order defined by the second script, andc) a second host to execute a second command that instructs at least one system at a second site and in communication with the second host to execute a second script, the second script being for automatically shutting down components of the at least one system at the second site in an order defined by the second script.
