Power Management of IPMI devices has the following prerequisites:
• The IPMI device must be available to the OnSite over the network.
• The information in the following table must be obtained from the IPMI
device’s administrator.
The information is updated in the /etc/IPMIServer.conf file.
Selecting the IPMI Power Mgmt. option from the Access menu in Expert
mode brings up a screen with all declared IPMI devices, light bulb icons, and
the buttons “Add,” “Edit,” and “Delete.”
In the IPMI devices list, light bulb icons indicate the current status of the
device. Clicking a light bulb icon toggles the state of the device. When the
status is unknown, a question mark appears in the light bulb. A question mark
indicates either of the following conditions:
• The device was added or deleted and the changes were not saved.
• The device did not answer IPMI requests.
