Description Enables you to perform power management operations on the blade system.
To run this subcommand, you must have the Execute Server Control Commands permission.
Synopsis
racadm serveraction <action> -f
Input
<action> — Species the power management operation to perform. The options are:
• hardreset — Performs a force reset (reboot) operation on the managed system.
• powercycle — Performs a power-cycle operation on the managed system. This action is similar to pressing
the power button on the system’s front panel to turn o and then turn on the system.
• powerdown — Powers down the managed system.
• powerup — Powers up the managed system.
• powerstatus — Displays the current power status of the server (ON or OFF).
• graceshutdown — Performs a graceful shutdown of the server. If the operating system on the server cannot
shut down completely, then this operation is not performed.
• nmi — Generates the Non-masking interrupt (NMI) to halt the system operation. The NMI sends a high-level
interrupt to the operating system, which causes the system to halt the operation to allow critical diagnostic or
troubleshooting activities.
NOTE:
The halt system operation does not occur on systems running the Linux operating system.
• -f — Force the server power management operation.
This option is applicable only for the PowerEdge-VRTX platform. It is used with powerdown,powercycle, and
hardreset options.
NOTE: The action powerstatus is not allowed with -a option.
Output Displays an error message if the requested operation is not completed, or a success message if the operation is
completed.
