Tasks Available in Device Control Task
Shutdown Device (via in-band)
Choosing Shutdown Device(via in-band) allows you to specify the shutdown
operation that you want to perform.
NOTE: This task requires CIM or SNMP discovery to be enabled, or Server
Administrator to be installed on the managed node.
NOTE: The shutdown task is not supported for devices discovered using IPMI only.
Wake Up Device (via WakeOnLAN)
Choosing Wake Up Device(via WakeOnLAN) allows you to specify the port
number of the device that you want to wake up. To wake up a device,
IT Assistant uses the MAC addresses and subnet mask that were discovered
for that device. If NIC teaming is configured on the device, only one MAC is
advertised by the operating system. For Wake-on-LAN (WOL) to work,
WOL must be enabled for all NICs in that team. For a WOL packet to reach
its intended destination, directed broadcasting (also known as subnet
broadcasting) must be enabled on the intermediate routers. Directed
broadcasting is typically disabled on the routers, so you must configure this
feature on the routers to enable it.
NOTE: Enable the WOL property in the NIC settings and the system BIOS.
NOTE: WakeOnLAN (WOL) is recommended to be run against client devices.
Power Control Device(via ASF)
Choosing Power Control Device(via ASF) allows you to perform remote
power control operations on the Alert Standard Format (ASF) 2.0 compliant
devices.
NOTE: See the system documentation for ASF configuration and setup instructions.
NOTE: IT Assistant uses the in-band Broadcom Windows Management
Instrumentation (WMI) provider to verify if a device has ASF capabilities.
