Controlling Host Power to Server

Oracle ILOM provides a set of parameters that enables system administrators to control the power state of a host server.

System administrators can issue power control commands from the Oracle ILOM CLI or web interface. For more details about each power control command, see the following table.

Note:

For Oracle multi-domain server systems, you can control the power state on individual server domains.
