Shutdown
Argimiro Krishnamoorthy
Users must be members of the Administrators group to annotate an unexpected shutdown of a local or remotely administered computer. If the target computer is joined to a domain, members of the Domain Admins group might be able to perform this procedure. For more information, see:
If you specify major and minor reason codes, you must first define these reason codes on each computer where you plan to use the reasons. If the reason codes aren't defined on the target computer, Shutdown Event Tracker can't log the correct reason text.
An administrative furlough is a planned event by an agency which is designed to absorb reductions necessitated by downsizing, reduced funding, lack of work, or any budget situation other than a lapse in appropriations. Furloughs that would potentially result from sequestration would generally be considered administrative furloughs.
A shutdown furlough (also called an emergency furlough) occurs when there is a lapse in appropriations, and can occur at the beginning of a fiscal year, if no funds have been appropriated for that year, or upon expiration of a continuing resolution, if a new continuing resolution or appropriations law is not passed. In a shutdown furlough, an affected agency would have to shut down any activities funded by annual appropriations that are not excepted by law. Typically, an agency will have very little to no lead time to plan and implement a shutdown furlough.
This page provides information on shutdown furloughs. This guidance applies to activities that are funded by annual appropriations. Some agency functions have alternative funding sources and, as a result, are not directly affected by a lapse in annual appropriations. Employees performing those functions will generally continue to be governed by the normal pay, leave, and other civil service rules. Agencies should consult with their legal counsel if they have further questions concerning this distinction. Employees should consult with their human resources office.

For further information on the procedural requirements for taking furlough actions and the rights and entitlements which accrue to employees in a furlough status, agency human resources specialists may contact the following OPM offices. (Please note that these contacts may not be available during a furlough that affects OPM.) Employees must contact their agency human resources office for information.
I am very new to the PANOS world so I will apologize in advance if this is obvious, however my search of documentation and knowledebase did not yield anything. I have been looking for a way to administratively shut down sub interfaces. Is this possible? While it's easy enough to shutdown a physical interface by assigning it's link-state we're not seeing a way to do the same for an individual sub-interface.
We do not have an option of shutting down a sub interface as its logical in nature. We could however, select "none" zone for the sub-interface or "none" virtual router or both, if you do not want traffic to ingress/egress via this sub interface.
It's a very useful feature when you are replacing existing equipment for example. The ability to disable a subinteterface would allow you to assign and commit an ip address that would potentially conflict with an existing piece of equipment. When you're ready to cut over you can just disable the interfaces on the old equipment and enable them on the PA firewall. This is why there's a concept of administrative shutdown in the cisco world for example.
You have a valid point, but we do not have that feature as of today on the box. You can contact your Sales Engineer for this enhancement request and he can apply one for you on your behalf. Till then you have to work around it with the steps that I mentioned before.
I'm facing the same situation right now. I want to replace the old FWs with the new Palo Alto FWs. So, I need to disable an exiting sub-interface on the old FWs and enable it on the new FWs. Select "none" for the sub-interface zone or "none" for the virtual router, or both it will take time for me. So, shutdown sub interfaces would make it easy.
Same here - I was going to hot-cut a 3-tier infrastructure into one cluster but I just got told yesterday I need to do it one tier at a time. I guess the zone workaround is about the same amount of but I don't feel comfortable with the zone option. I guess I'm old school, lol.
Edit: What about duplicate IP addresses? Does the zone workaround completely take it out of routing & ARP'ing? Since I'm moving multiple VLANs' gateways from one firewall to another there's the potential for IP address conflicts.
As the President has said, the shutdown that occurred last month inflicted completely unnecessary damage on our economy and took a toll on families and businesses across the country. Today, OMB is releasing a report that catalogs the breadth and depth of this damage, and details the various impacts and costs of the October 2013 Federal government shutdown.
The report explains in detail the economic, budgetary, and programmatic costs of the shutdown. These costs include economic disruption, negative impacts on Federal programs and services that support American businesses and individuals, costs to the government, and impacts on the Federal workforce.
First, Federal employees were furloughed for a combined total of 6.6 million days, more than in any previous government shutdown. At its peak, about 850,000 individuals per day were furloughed. That number fell once most Department of Defense civilian employees were able to return to work as the Pentagon implemented the Pay Our Military Act.
Third, the shutdown had significant negative effects on the economy. The Council of Economic Advisers has estimated that the combination of the shutdown and debt limit brinksmanship resulted in 120,000 fewer private sector jobs created during the first two weeks of October. And multiple surveys have shown that consumer and business confidence was badly damaged.
Fifth, the shutdown could have a long-term impact on our ability to attract and retain the skilled and driven workforce that the Federal government needs. The shutdown followed a three-year pay freeze for Federal employees, cuts in training and support, and, for hundreds of thousands of workers, administrative furloughs earlier this year because of sequestration. These cuts will make it harder for the government to attract and retain the talent it needs to provide top level service to the American people.
Create and run shutdown scripts that execute commands right before a virtualmachine (VM) instance is stopped or restarted. This is useful if yourely on automated scripts to start up and shut down instances, allowinginstances time to clean up or perform tasks, such as exporting logs, or syncingwith other systems.
Shutdown scripts are especially useful for VMs in amanaged instance group with anautoscaler. If the autoscaler shuts down aVM in the group, the shutdown script runs before the VMstops and the shutdown script performs any actions that you define.The script runs during the limited shutdown period before theVM stops. For example, your shutdown script might copy processed datato Cloud Storage or back up any logs.
Shutdown scripts are triggered by certainAdvanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) events.such as restarts or stops. There are many ways to restart or stop aninstance, but only some ways trigger the shutdown script to run. A shutdownscript runs as part of the following actions:
To execute a script that is not bash, add a shebang line at the top of the fileto let the operating system know which interpreter to use. For example, for aPython script, you can add a shebang line like:
Before an instance shuts down or restarts, the shutdown script has alimited time period to run. During this period, Compute Engineattempts to run your shutdown script. If the script takes longer thanthis time period to complete, the instance automatically stops and allrunning tasks are ended. If you shut down or restart an instance by making arequest to the guest operating system with the sudo shutdown command, thelimit does not apply.
The length of the shutdown period is different depending on type of theinstance. Preemptible instances have ashorter shutdown period than normal instances. For more information about theshutdown time limits on each instance type, seeShutdown period.
Shutdown scripts can perform as many actions as you need, but if youare passing in the file locally, your script cannot exceed the metadata valuelength limit of 256 KB. To use a script that exceeds the length limit,store your file on Cloud Storage. SeeUse shutdown script from Cloud Storage formore information.
To pass in a local shutdown script file, supply the --metadata-from-fileflag, followed by a metadata key pair, shutdown-script=PATH/TO/FILE, wherePATH/TO/FILE is a relative path to the shutdown script. For example:
Using the Google Cloud CLI, use the --metadata flag to providethe contents of your shutdown script, followed by theshutdown-script=CONTENTS key pair, where CONTENTS is the content of yourshutdown script.
Run shutdown scripts on Windows instances using the following Windows-specificmetadata keys. Choose from any of the specialized keys listed below.Each key should match the type of script you want to run.
