Manage Host Power-On, Power-Off and Shutdown Functions

Note:

The IPMI TLS interface (orcltls) is supported as of Oracle ILOM firmware version 3.2.8 and later. For a higher level of security, you should always specify the IPMI TLS interface (-I orcltls) when executing Oracle ILOM commands from the IMPItool utility. For more information about using the IPMI TLS interface from Oracle, see these topics:IPMI TLS Service and Interface and Configure IPMI Management Access for Increased Security in Oracle ILOM Security Guide For Firmware Release 5.1.x

Follow these steps to specify the host power functions for a managed device.

1. To power on the host on a managed device, type: chassis power on

   Example:

   $ ipmitool -I [orcltls|lanplus] -H SP_hostname_or_IPaddress -U
                                 username
                                  -P
                                 password
                             

   
                                 chassis power on
                             

2. To power off the host on a managed device, type: chassis power off

   Example:

   $ ipmitool -I [orcltls|lanplus] -H SP_hostname_or_IPaddress -U username
                                 
                                  -P
                                 password
                             

   
                                  chassis power off
                             

3. To power cycle the host on a managed device, type: chassis power cycle

   Example:

   $ ipmitool -I [orcltls|lanplus] -H SP_hostname_or_IPaddress -U username-P password
                                 
                             

   
                                  chassis power cycle
                             

4. To gracefully shut down the host power on a managed device, type: chassis power soft

   Example:

   $ipmitool -I [orcltls|lanplus]-H SP_hostname_or_IPaddress -U username -P password
                                 
                             

   
                                  chassis power soft
