CS and Power Management
The following table list the tasks for power management and where they are
described.
Configuring Ports for Power Management by Authorized Users
Administrators of connected devices who have power management
permissions can do power management while connected by using a “hot key”
that brings up a power management screen.
For IPMI power management the default hot key is Ctrl+p. For IPDU power
management the default hot key is Ctrl+Shift+I.
Configuring Ports for Power Management Using the CLI
CS administrators can use the
CLI
command with the
config ipmi
options to manage power on IPMI devices while logged into the CS with
administrative rights. The
ipmitool
command is documented in the
BLACK BOX® Advanced Console Server Command Reference Guide.
