Selecting Power Control Actions from the iDRAC6 CLI
Use the racadm serveraction command to perform power
management operations on the host system.

The options for the <action> string are:
• powerdown — Powers down the managed system.
•
powerup — Powers up 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 power down and then power up the system.
•
powerstatus — Displays the current power status of the server ("ON",
or "OFF")
•
hardreset — Performs a reset (reboot) operation on the managed system.
