when trying to shutdown IDPA Appliance

Here is some additional help for IDPA/PowerProtect shutdown and possible issues:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

To check ahead of time for issues before initiating the shutdown:

1. Open a putty session to the Avamar node as 'admin' user:
2. Run these separately on AV as root and check output:
avosshutdown precheck
dpnctl shutdown --precheck

-------------------------------------------------------------------

 

If the shutdown is already hung, you can putty to the acm server to check the logs:

/usr/local/dataprotection/var/configmgr/server_data/logs/server.log

You could grep for "Avamar shutdown precheck failed"
