This chapter includes the following sections:

• Toggling the Locator LED
• Resetting the Server Boot Order
• Powering On the Server
• Powering Off the Server
• Power Cycling the Server
• Resetting the Server

Toggling the Locator LED

Before You Begin

You must have user privileges for all power control operations including this operation.

Procedure

	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 #  

Resetting the Server Boot Order

Note	Do not change the boot order while the host is performing BIOS power-on self test (POST).

Procedure

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	Server# scope bios	Enters bios command mode.
Step 2	Server /bios # set boot-order device1[,device2[,device3 [,device4[,device5]]]]	Specifies the boot device options and order. You can select one or more of the following: cdrom—Bootable CD-ROM fdd—Floppy disk drive hdd—Hard disk drive pxe—PXE boot efi—Extensible Firmware Interface
Step 3	Server /bios # commit	Commits the transaction to the system configuration.

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.

Procedure

	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

Procedure

	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

Procedure

	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

Procedure

	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

Procedure

	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
