8.4  Power Control 
8.4.1  Base Server Method 
Changing the power state, such as cycling the power, is performed by invoking the 
RequestStateChange() method of the CIM_ComputerSystem class instance. For iDRAC, there is one 
instance for the main system and another for iDRAC. Use the main system instance. The method 
requires you to specify the RequestedState argument. Refer to Section 8.3 to get the possible values 
for this argument.

EXAMPLE: 
wsman invoke -a RequestStateChange http://schemas.dell.com/wbem/wscim/1/cim-
schema/2/DCIM_ComputerSystem 
 ?CreationClassName=DCIM_ComputerSystem,Name=srv:system 
 -h $IPADDRESS -V -v -c dummy.cert -P 443 
 -u $USERNAME -p $PASSWORD 
 -j utf-8 -y basic -k RequestedState="2"
