● 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.
● reseat — Performs virtual reseat of the server. This operation simulates reseating the blade by
resetting the iDRAC on that blade. -f is required for this operation.
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.
