My backup server is running TrueNAS Core 13.0-U1, and when I try to shut down the server using the Web UI and/or console, the server reboots 5 - 10 seconds after it powers off. The server specs are as follows:
Intel R2000 Server with S2600GZ motherboard
2 x E5-2630L v2
32GB ECC RAM
LSI HBA
I've installed the latest BIOS, BMC firmware, Intel ME firmware, and HBA firmware. I've also tried removing all PCIe devices, disconnecting all network cables, reseting the BIOS/BMC to factory defaults, turning off wake-on-lan, and yet the system still powers on seconds after shutting down. This issue also seems to be specific to TrueNAS, as the server powers off correctly under Linux (Debian 11.4).
I understand this issue is from a somewhat unusual use case, as most TrueNAS systems stay up 24/7, but this backup server is intended to only power on weekly for a few hours to perform replication tasks from the primary TrueNAS box and then shut down to save power.
One last thing, I've noticed the BMC/system status light blinks when TrueNAS shuts down the server, but remains solid when powered down from Linux. I suspect TrueNAS might be causing the BMC to reset just before shutdown, and that is then triggering the system to reboot instead of staying powered off, but I'm not sure if there is a way to confirm this theory.
Thanks in advance for any help.
