Managing the server power
The
Virtual Power Button section on the Server Power page displays the current power state of the server, as well as
options for remotely controlling server power.
System Power indicates the state of the server power when the page is
first opened. The server power state can be
ON, OFF, or Reset. Use the browser refresh feature to view the current server
power state. The server is rarely in the
Reset state.

Virtual power button options
•
Momentary Press—The same as pressing the physical power button. If the server is powered off, a momentary press
will turn on the server power.
Some operating systems might be configured to initiate a graceful shutdown after a momentary press, or to ignore
this event. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends using system commands to complete a graceful operating system
shutdown before you attempt to shut down by using the virtual power button.
•
Press and Hold—The same as pressing the physical power button for 5 seconds and then releasing it.
The server is powered off as a result of this operation. Using this option might circumvent the graceful shutdown
features of the operating system.
This option provides the ACPI functionality that some operating systems implement. These operating systems behave
differently depending on a short press or long press.
