Figure 3-4 rpower command flag description
The rpower command remotely controls nodes and retrieves their status. Here we are
focusing in the stat and state actions available for FRAME, CEC, and LPAR node types. The
input and output values are:
Command: rpower <noderange> <action>
Outputs:
[no-flags]
<noderange>: <status>
Attributes:
– <noderange>: Nodes that are listed in xCAT database that belong to a
FRAME/CEC/LPAR hardware type.
– <action>: For monitoring cases that are one of these two options (more rpower options
are available, but the options do not give monitoring information): [stat | state]
– <status>: Status of the node. Possible values depend of noderange target type:
• FRAME: [BPA state - <actual_state_of_BPAs> | Error: <error_description> | ...]
• CEC: [operating | power off | IPL-in-process | Error: <error_description> | ...]
• LPAR: [Open Firmware | Not Activated | Running | Node not found | ...]
– <error_description>: "The connection state for the primary FSP/BPA are NOT LINE UP.
The command requires that the connection for the primary FSP/BPA should be LINE
UP."
