Managing Power on a Remote System

The iDRAC6 enables you to remotely perform several power management
actions on the managed system so you can recover after a system crash or
other system event.

Selecting Power Control Actions from the iDRAC6 Web-Based Interface

To perform power management actions using the Web-based interface,
see "Executing Power Control Operations on the Server" on page 298.

Selecting Power Control Actions from the iDRAC6 CLI

Use the racadm serveraction command to perform power
management operations on the host system.
racadm serveraction <action>
The options for the <action> string are:
• powerdown — Powers down the managed system.
• powerup — Powers up the managed system.
• powercycle — Issues a power-cycle operation on the managed system.
This action is similar to pressing the power button on the system's front
panel to power down and then power up the system.
• powerstatus — Displays the current power status of the server ("ON",
or "OFF")
hardreset — Performs a reset (reboot) operation on the managed system.
