Windows nPartition Guide v5.5

frupower [-d] -I [-l cabinet] [-l...]
• The -h... -g... options must be specified to cause the command to send its management
request using IPMI over LAN to a MP in another server complex (but can also be used as a
“loopback access” to the MP in the local complex).
• The -h... -u... set of options must be specified to cause the command to send its
management request using WBEM to an nPartition other than the local nPartition (but can
also be used as a “loopback access” to the local nPartition).
The -g and -u options are mutually exclusive.

either in the local (cabinet/slot) or global (cell_ID) format.
-c cell
The specified IOchassis is powered on/off or the power status is displayed.
-i IOchassis
Display power status of all cells. By default the scope is the entire complex if the -l option
is not specified.

• passwd specifies the password associated with the username. If this field is empty, the
command prompts for the password.
-u username:[passwd]
Allows access to the complex specified by the -h option. The accessed complex is then
considered the target complex. Access is through the MP LAN port.The -h option is
required if this option is used.
passwd specifies the IPMI password of the MP. If this field is omitted, the command
prompts for the password.
-g [passwd]
This option is only used in combination with either the -u or -g option. IPaddress|hostname
specifies the IP address or hostname of the target nPartition (-u) or MP (-g).
-h IPaddress|hostname
Example
In the following example, you connect to the server’s management processor (MP) from your
management station. The MP IP number is 192.168.24.68, and the MP password is “password”.
Since you are connecting remotely using IPMI over LAN, you must include the -h... -g...
options with each command.
You want to view the power status for all cells in the complex. You use the frupower command
(with the -C option).
1. Open a command window on the management station (Start > Run >entercmd >click OK).
