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.
•
Reset—Forces the server to warm-boot: CPUs and I/O resources are reset. Using this option circumvents the graceful
shutdown features of the operating system.
•
Cold Boot—Immediately removes power from the server. Processors, memory, and I/O resources lose main power. The
server will restart after approximately 8 seconds. Using this option circumvents the graceful shutdown features of the
operating system.
