This procedure (Command menu, PE command) powers on and powers off
cells, I/O chassis, and cabinets using the service processor interface.
CAUTION When using the service processor Command menu’s PE command to
power on or off hardware, you should be certain to correctly specify which
component to power on or off.
The PE command does not check whether the hardware is actively being
used.
You can manage the power for all components within the system complex
using the service processor Command menu’s PE command, regardless of
any partition assignment or the status (active or inactive) for the
hardware components.
Step 1. Log in to the system’s service processor and access the Command menu.
From the service processor Main menu, enter CM to access the Command
menu. To exit the Command menu enter MA.
Step 2. Issue the PE command and specify the type of hardware whose power you
want to turn on or turn off.
You can manage power to cells, I/O chassis, and cabinets.
Step 3. Specify the hardware device to power on or power off.
The service processor does not check whether the specified component is
currently being used.
• Cabinets—When you power on or off a cabinet, the firmware also
powers on or off all cells and I/O chassis in the cabinet.
• Cells—When you power on or off a cell, the firmware also powers on
or off any I/O chassis attached to the cell.
When specifying a cell, you indicate both the cabinet number and the
slot in which the cell resides.
