poweron devicebay
The -poweron devicebay command sends a power-on request to Virtual Connect Manager for
a given bay.
Syntax
-poweron devicebay -enclosurename <enclosurename> -bayname <bayname>
Parameters
Table 28 Parameter descriptions for -poweron devicebay
OptionalRequiredDescriptionParameter
xThe name of the enclosure
containing the bay to be
powered on.
-enclosurename
xThe name of the bay to be
powered on.
NOTE: For a multi-blade
server the BayName must be
the name of the primary
bay.
-bayname
Output
The result of the power on operation. If –nb is in effect for the command, nothing is returned and
the results of the command can be checked by polling -show power-status for the enclosure
bay.
Examples
• Power on a specific server in bay 2 of the enclosure enc0:
vcemcli -poweron devicebay –enclosurename enc0 –bayname 2
• Power on a specific multi-blade server that occupies bays 1-4 of the enclosure enc0:
vcemcli -poweron devicebay –enclosurename enc0 –bayname 1
Minimum Required Role Based Security
VCEM Group Limited Operator
Remarks
When –nb is specified, this command does not indicate that the power has been actually turned
on. It is only an indication that the request has been successfully passed to the Virtual Connect
Manager. The –show power-status command must be polled in order to determine if the bay
has successfully been powered on. An error is reported if the bay or enclosure name is invalid.
NOTE: When a timeout is specified, this command will block and poll the power status on an
interval defined by pollinginterval until the timeout is reached. A return of success means
the power is successfully turned on. VCEMCLI will wait for a maximum of 3600 seconds (1 hour)
by default when no timeout has been specified for the command.
Prerequisites
The bay must contain a server.
