Partition Manager Powering cells on and off can be done through the Partition Manager,
though the Partition Manager limits what you can do based on whether
the cell you are trying to control is in an active state, and whether it is in
the local partition or a remote partition. If you attempt to power off a cell
in a remote partition the PartitionManager will reportan errormessage.
The Partition Manager will also not allow you to power off an active cell
by not making available the menu item to do so when an active cell is
selected. Also, cell boards must be configured into a partition before you
can power them on.
To power on a cell board or to power off an inactive cell board in the local
partition:
Step 1. On the left-hand sideof the Partition Manager’s primary display window,
highlight the entry for the partition that contains the cell that you want
to power on/off. This will display a list of cells and I/O chassis for the
partition on the right-hand side of the window.
Step 2. On the right-hand side of the window, highlight the entry for the cell that
you want to control power to.
Step 3. From the Cell menu, select Power On Cell (or Power Off Cell)
If an I/O chassis is attached to the cell board that you are powering on or
off, the I/O chassis will also be powered on or off, respectively.
