Options for Managing Power
The sections listed below describe the different ways that the authorized users
can perform power management through CS.
• From forms in the Web Manager
• From a power management screen while logged into a device
• From the command line while logged into CS
An authorized user with administrative privileges can perform IPDU and
IPMI power management. A Regular User with permissions to the connected
devices can perform IPDU power management.
Power Management Through the Web Manager
Users with power management permissions can perform power management
through the Web Manager. The Web Manager menu includes the two power
management options listed in the following table, with links to where each is
documented.
Power Management from the CS Command Line
CS administrators can use the ipmitool command to manage power on
IPMI devices while logged into the CS with administrative rights. The
ipmitool command is documented in the BLACK BOX® Advanced
Console Server Command Reference Guide.
