To use this subcommand, you must have the Execute Server Control Commands permission.
Synopsis
racadm serveraction <action>
Input
• -m < module > -
server-n, where n =1–4
• -a - Performs action on all servers. Not allowed with the powerstatus action.
• -f - Force the action. Required for the reseat action.
• < action >- Specifies the action. The options for the < action > string are:
— graceshutdown — Performs a graceful shutdown of the server. If the operating system on the
server cannot be cleanly shutdown, this operation will not be performed.
— hardreset — Performs a reset (reboot) operation on the managed system.
— powercycle — Issues a power-cycle operation on the managed system. This action is similar
to pressing the power button on the system’s front panel to turn off, and then turn on the system.
— powerdown — Turns off the managed system.
— powerup — Turns on the managed system.
— powerstatus — Displays the current power status of the server (ON or OFF).
— reseat — Performs a virtual reseat of the server. This operation simulates reseating the
server by resetting the iDRAC on a server.
NOTE: The action powerstatus is not allowed with an -a option.
Output Displays an error message if the requested operation fails, or a success message if the operation is
completed.
