Power On – Latch
Upon triggering, iBoot will power on and remain so until changed via
the web, ibootctl.exe or direct messaging.
Power On – Follow
Upon triggering, iBoot will power on. When the heartbeat returns,
iBoot will power off.
Power Off – Latch
Upon triggering, iBoot will power off and remain so until changed via
the web, ibootctl.exe or direct messaging.
Power Off – Follow
Upon triggering, iBoot will power off. When the heartbeat response
returns, iBoot will power on.
Power Cycle
Upon triggering, iBoot will cycle the power. iBoot will wait the
Heartbeat Frequency x Fail Count; if the heartbeat does not return,
the power will be recycled again. This will continue until the
heartbeat returns or Heartbeat is turned off. Make sure your
Heartbeat frequency is longer than the time required to reboot your
device.
Power Cycle Once
Upon triggering, iBoot will cycle power one time. It will not cycle
again automatically until the heartbeat returns and is lost again.
Using Heartbeat Monitor
With Heartbeat operational, the main iBoot page will display the current status of this feature. The
status will be OK to indicate that iBoot is receiving heartbeats, or that the fail counter has not yet
been exceeded.
If the fail count has been exceeded, the status will change to Triggered. The Trigger Counter
indicates the number of times the Heartbeat feature has been triggered. A counter reset button is
provided when logging in with the System password.
Using the Heartbeat Program
The heartbeat program and instructions are available from the distribution disk.
External Control Program
NTI provides a remote control program to control iBoot directly. This program is useful for
creating simple desktop icons for specific power functions for one or more iBoots. It can also be run
from a command line and can be called by other programs. (Batch files etc.)
For example, ibootctl.exe can be called from server monitoring programs such as WhatsUp Gold™,
Servers Alive™ or any program that provides for an external program to be run upon loss of a
server.
ibootctl.exe is available on the distribution disk.
