Power On the Server (start /SYS Command)
-> set /SYS/keyswitch_state=diag Set ‘keyswitch_state' to ‘Diag'
There are several ways to initiate a reset. The following example shows a reset by using commands that power cycle the host.
-> stop /SYS Are you sure you want to stop /SYS (y/n)? y Stopping /SYS -> start /SYS Are you sure you want to start /SYS (y/n)? y Starting /SYS
Note - The server takes about one minute to power off. Use the show /HOST command to determine when the host has been powered off. The console displays status=Powered Off.
-> start /HOST/console
