Managing the Server
This chapter includes the following sections:
- Toggling the Locator LED
- Configuring the Server Boot Order
- Powering On the Server
- Powering Off the Server
- Power Cycling the Server
- Resetting the Server
- Shutting Down the Server
Toggling the Locator LED
You must log in with user or admin privileges to perform this task.
Command or Action | Purpose | |
---|---|---|
Step 1 | Server# scope chassis | Enters chassis command mode. |
Step 2 | Server /chassis # set locator-led {on | off} | Enables or disables the chassis locator LED. |
Step 3 | Server /chassis # commit | Commits the transaction to the system configuration. |
This example disables the chassis locator LED and commits the transaction:
Server# scope chassis Server /chassis # set locator-led off Server /chassis *# commit Server /chassis #
Configuring the Server Boot Order
Note |
Do not change the boot order while the host is performing BIOS power-on self test (POST). |
You must log in with user or admin privileges to perform this task.
The new boot order will be used on the next BIOS boot.
This example sets the boot order and commits the transaction:
Server# scope bios Server /bios # set boot-order hdd,cdrom,fdd,pxe,efi Server /bios *# commit Server /bios # show detail BIOS: Boot Order: HDD,CDROM,FDD,PXE,EFI Server /bios #
Powering On the Server
Note |
If the server was powered off other than through the CIMC, the server will not become active immediately when powered on. In this case, the server will enter standby mode until the CIMC completes initialization. |
You must log in with user or admin privileges to perform this task.
Command or Action | Purpose | |
---|---|---|
Step 1 | Server# scope chassis | Enters chassis command mode. |
Step 2 | Server /chassis # power on | Turns on the server. |
This example turns on the server:
Server# scope chassis Server /chassis # power on This operation will change the server's power state. Continue?[y|N]y Server /chassis # show Power Serial Number Product Name UUID ----- ------------- ------------- ------------------------------------ on Not Specified Not Specified 208F0100020F000000BEA80000DEAD00
Powering Off the Server
You must log in with user or admin privileges to perform this task.
Command or Action | Purpose | |
---|---|---|
Step 1 | Server# scope chassis | Enters chassis command mode. |
Step 2 | Server /chassis # power off | Turns off the server. |
This example turns off the server:
Server# scope chassis Server /chassis # power off This operation will change the server's power state. Continue?[y|N]y Server /chassis # show Power Serial Number Product Name UUID ----- ------------- ------------- ------------------------------------ off Not Specified Not Specified 208F0100020F000000BEA80000DEAD00
Power Cycling the Server
You must log in with user or admin privileges to perform this task.
Command or Action | Purpose | |
---|---|---|
Step 1 | Server# scope chassis | Enters chassis command mode. |
Step 2 | Server /chassis # power cycle | Power cycles the server. |
This example power cycles the server:
Server# scope chassis Server /chassis # power cycle
Resetting the Server
You must log in with user or admin privileges to perform this task.
Command or Action | Purpose | |
---|---|---|
Step 1 | Server# scope chassis | Enters chassis command mode. |
Step 2 | Server /chassis # power hard-reset | After a prompt to confirm, resets the server. |
This example resets the server:
Server# scope chassis Server /chassis # power hard-reset This operation will change the server's power state. Continue?[y|N]
Shutting Down the Server
You must log in with user or admin privileges to perform this task.
Command or Action | Purpose | |
---|---|---|
Step 1 | Server# scope chassis | Enters chassis mode. |
Step 2 | Server /chassis # power shutdown | Shuts down the server. |
The following example shuts down the server:
Server# scope chassis Server /chassis # power shutdown
