Remote ipmitool DIAG OS power management
Use ipmitool to reboot and power off from the BMC serial console command prompt.
NOTE: When building the kernel for the Z9432F-ON switch, the kernel flag CONFIG_IPMI_POWEROFF must be set to n.
Having this flag that is turned on causes the kernel to send the ipmi command to power off the switch when the CPU is
powered off. For example, pressing the push button for five seconds powers off the CPU. But pressing the push button for
five seconds with the flag set to n, powers off the switch to Standby mode. The only way to power on the switch is to issue
the ipmi command from a remote station to the BMC.
Enter the service tag number in upper case.
