Power Management

Use the following command-line instructions to manage power from your BMC. However, we recommend that you manage power by using the BMC web user interface.

Note

The BMC Web User Interface is only available for BMC firmware version 24.04-11-v3.2 or newer.

You can manage power by using the following methods:

  • In-band commands — SSH into the BMC console and use the IPMITOOL.

  • Out-of-band commands — From a remote Ubuntu host, with lanplus.
