Virtual power

The Virtual Power button enables control of the power state of the remote server and simulates pressing
the physical power button on the server. If the remote host server is not responding, this feature enables
an administrator to initiate a cold or warm reboot to bring the server back online.
Some of these features will not gracefully shut down the operating system. An operating system shutdown
should be initiated using the Remote Console before using the Virtual Power button.
Use the refresh feature of the browser to keep the status of the power indicator up to date.
To use the Virtual Power button, select the power option that you want and click Virtual Power to initiate
the power option.
The available power options are:
Momentary Press—This option simulates a momentary press of the power button. A momentary press
is usually sufficient to turn off a server that is currently on or to turn on a server that is currently off.
Depending on the host operating system, this option can gracefully shut down the operating system.
To use this option, select Momentary Press, and click Virtual Power.
