Hi, I am a lurker here, so just my 2c. We are running gridengine inside a number of virtual machines on a small sized cluster managed by opennebula.org.

That might call for some configurable or "plugin" design, because people might switch between IPMI, ssh, or some vendor-mechanism like the HP ILO remote management. Or, in our case, switching off a virtual node would be the opennebula command "onevm shutdown X". A question I have is what do people do before shutdown/poweron: in our setup, nodes do self-register upon poweron, and completely de-register on poweroff. This way, we avoid that SGE sees many nodes in alarm (au) state. Does that make sense ? What's left (and beyond the scope of SGE) is the actual scheduling of VMs, and eventually powering off the physical nodes.
