DESCRIPTION
The command turns power on or off, or it displays the current status of
power for cells and I/O chassis.
The operations allowed by this command are subject to the following
conditions:
· An active cell cannot be powered off. An active cell is one that is
assigned to a partition and that is being used by the partition.
· The option can be used to display the power state of any I/O chas‐
sis, but can only control the power state of an I/O chassis in the
following two situations:
· The I/O chassis is attached to an active cell and is powered off.
The I/O chassis may be powered on, but will not become active
until the partition to which the cell is assigned has been
rebooted.
· The I/O chassis is attached to an active cell and is powered on,
but the I/O chassis has not yet become active. The I/O chassis
may be powered off.
· If the target of the command is the local partition, meaning that
neither the option is used:
· Any user can run the command to display the power state of cells
and I/O chassis.
· Superuser permission is required to change the power state of a
component (cell or chassis).
· Cell power operations are limited to free cells and inactive or
powered-off cells assigned to the local partition. If the nPar‐
tition Configuration Privilege is restricted, then control of
free cells is not allowed.
Note: The nPartition Configuration Privilege state can only be
changed at the service processor's Command menu.
· When connecting to a remote partition using the options:
· Any local user may run the command. Superuser permission is not
required, and the user's system need not be an nPartition.
· The set of allowed operations depends on the privileges of user‐
name on the remote partition, and the state of the nPartition
Configuration Privilege on the complex on which the remote parti‐
tion exists. The rules and conditions are the same as for the
local partition description.
· When connecting to the service processor of a complex using the
options:
· Any user may run the command. Superuser permission is not
required, and the user's system need not be an nPartition.
· The user may display the power state of any cell or I/O chassis.
Any powered off cell can be powered on, and any inactive cell can
be powered off, whether or not the cell is assigned to a parti‐
tion or is a free cell. The state of the complex's nPartition
Configuration Privilege does not affect this mode of command
operation.
Please refer to the for a description of the partition management terms
used in this man page.
Options and Arguments
recognizes the following command line options and arguments:
Displays power status of all cells. If the or option is specified, the
operation applies to all component cells of the accessed complex.
The specified
cell is powered on/off or the power status is displayed. Refer
to the section for the conditions under which power control is
allowed.
If a power operation on multiple cells is specified, the command
processes each one, regardless of the outcome of the operation
on a particular cell. It is possible for an operation to suc‐
ceed on one cell and fail on another.
A cell can be specified either in the local (cabinet#/slot#) or
global (cell#) format. For example, the cell located in cabinet
0, slot 4 is locally identified as 0/4 or globally as simply 4.
Displays power status of specified cells or I/O chassis. This is the
default.
Powers off specified cells or I/O chassis.
The options are mutually exclusive. The options are unavailable
with
Allows access to the complex specified by the
option. The accessed complex is then considered the target com‐
plex. Access is through the service processor's LAN port.
The option is required if this option is used.
If this option is specified, the command prompts for the pass‐
word.
If an error is reported when you attempt to connect using this
option, check to see that IPMI LAN access has not been disabled
on the remote service processor. Access to the complex through
IPMI over LAN can be enabled or disabled by logging on to the
service processor and using the command from the Command Menu.
The and options are mutually exclusive.
This option should only be used in combination with either the
option. IPaddress|hostname specifies the IP address or hostname
of the target partition or complex
Displays power status of all I/O chassis. If the
or option is specified, the operation applies to all I/O chassis
of the accessed complex.
The and options are all mutually exclusive.
The specified
I/Ochassis is powered on/off or the power status is displayed.
Refer to the section for the conditions under which power con‐
trol is allowed.
If a power operation on multiple I/O chassis is specified, the
command processes each one, regardless of the outcome of the
operation on a particular I/O chassis. It is possible for an
operation to succeed on one I/O chassis and fail on another.
An I/O chassis id must be specified in the form of cabi‐
net#/enclosure#/chassis#. For example, the I/O chassis located
in cabinet 0, enclosure 1 and I/O chassis slot 3 is identified
as 0/1/3.
Limits the scope of the
or option to the specified cabinet(s).
Powers on specified cells or I/O chassis.
Specifies the required authorization to access a partition other than
the local partition and to control components on it, subject to
the conditions stated in the section (but can also be used as a
loopback access to the local partition). The target complex is
the one in which this target partition resides.
The option is required if this option is used.
If this option is specified, the command prompts for the pass‐
word.
username specifies a configured user name on the target parti‐
tion. Any username can display the power state of components on
the target partition. username must have superuser permission
to change any power state.
Note: This command is a Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM)
Client Application. The option accesses the target partition
using a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection. If errors are
reported, check that the conditions described in the section are
satisfied.
Mapping of Global Cell Numbers to Local Cell Numbers
The cabinets in a complex are numbered starting from 0. The cell slots
in each cabinet are also numbered starting from 0. Each cabinet can
have a maximum of 8 cells. For example, the cells located in cabinet 0
will have the following cell numbers in global format: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7. The cell numbers in corresponding local format will be 0/0,
0/1, 0/2, 0/3, 0/4, 0/5, 0/6, 0/7.
Similarly the cells located in cabinet 1 will have the following cell
numbers in global format: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. The cell num‐
bers in corresponding local format will be 1/0, 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4,
1/5, 1/6, 1/7.
From the above convention the cell located in cabinet 1, slot 0 is
identified in the local format as 1/0 or in the global format as 8.
The command will display the above cell as "cab1,cell0". The cell
located in cabinet 1, slot 4 is identified in the local format as 1/4
or in the global format as 12. The command will display the above cell
as "cab1,cell4". See parstatus(1).
RETURN VALUE
The command exits with one of the following values:
Successful completion.
Error condition occurred.
EXAMPLES
Power on the cell located in cabinet 0 slot 4 of a partition identified
by the hostname GreenRiver:
RemoteAdmin must have superuser permissions on GreenRiver. The command
prompts for the password.
Power off two cells located in cabinet 0 slot 4 and cabinet 0 slot 6.
DEPENDENCIES
This command uses the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) product
and some of its configuration settings. If you encounter connection
errors when using the option, check that the following two conditions
are satisfied:
· Use the command (see cimconfig(1M) in the WBEM product documenta‐
tion) to verify (and correct if necessary) the setting of the fol‐
lowing two variables:
·
·
· The target partition's digital certificate has been appended to the
local partition's Shared Authentication Store. For the nPartition
commands, the Shared Authentication Store is stored in the file:
This file is used by all the clients, which use SSL based certifi‐
cates. If these clients trust a target partition, then the nParti‐
tion commands will also trust the target partition.
Refer to the WBEM documents specified in the section below for further
information.
