APPENDIX D: Using an Optional Serial Access Unit with the R-Port
• Turn ON: Powers on the host computer.
• Turn OFF: Powers off the host computer.
VNC
If you are inside an active VNC session and are logged in as
admin
, you can use the
bribar to access IPMI features. You have two choices from the bribar:
• Reset: Equivalent to pressing the Reset button on the managed computer.
(The computer will restart.)
• ON/OFF: Powers the host computer on or off depending on the current state
of the host computer; equivalent to pressing the Power button on the host
computer.
NOTE
IPMI may not automatically close the host computer software safely
when you issue a Reset or power OFF command. Since these features
are equivalent to pressing hardware buttons on the computer itself, the
computer will respond in exactly the same way. Always shut down your
operating system and application software normally before issuing an
IPMI command to avoid data loss or corruption.
