serveraction
Description Enables you to perform power management operations on the blade system.
To run this subcommand, you must have the Execute Server Control Commands permission.
Synopsis
● racadm serveraction -a <action>
●
racadm serveraction -m <module> <action>
Input
● -m <module> — Must be one of the following values:
○ server–<n>: where n=1–16
○ server–<nx>: where n=1–8; x=a–d (enter lowercase letter only).
● -a — Performs power action on all servers. Not allowed with the powerstatus action.
<action> — Specifies the power management operation to perform. The options are:
● hardreset — Performs a force reset (reboot) operation on the managed system.
● powercycle — Performs 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.
NOTE: The -m and -a options are applicable only to CMC platforms.
NOTE: If the server is in turned off state, the powercycle option power-up the server.
● powerdown — Powers down the managed system.
● powerup — Powers up the managed system.
● powerstatus — Displays the current power status of the server (ON or OFF).
● graceshutdown — Performs a graceful shutdown of the server. If the operating system on the
server cannot shut down completely, then this operation is not performed.
● nmi — Generates the Non-masking interrupt (NMI) to halt the system operation. The NMI sends a
high-level interrupt to the operating system, which causes the system to halt the operation to allow
critical diagnostic or troubleshooting activities.
NOTE:
The halt system operation does not occur on systems running the Linux operating system.
● -f — Force the server power management operation.
● reseat — Performs virtual reseat of the server. This operation simulates reseating the blade by
resetting the iDRAC on that blade. -f is required for this operation.
NOTE: The actionpowerstatus is not allowed with -a option.
Output Displays an error message if the requested operation is not completed, or a success message if the
operation is completed.
