8 Power State Management
8.1 Description of Base Server vs Power State Management Methods
The remote control of a server power state (On, Off) and methodology for cycling power is available
through data models specified in both the DMTF Base Server Profile and the DMTF Power State
Management Profile. The Base Server Profile offers the RequestStateChange() method on the instance
of the CIM_ComputerSystem class representing the server platform. The Power State Management
Profile offers the RequestPowerStateChange() method available on the instance of the
PowerStateManagmentService associated with the instance of CIM_ComputerSystem representing the
server platform.
