Activate servers in group operation
The Activate servers in group operation restarts the server.
To activate servers
1. Open the infrastructure orchestration console, self service portal, or organization administrator
portal.
2. Select the Services or My Services tab.
3. Select a service and click Details or View Details.
4. From the Actions or Server Actions list, select Activate servers.
During this operation, infrastructure orchestration:
• Validates the request
• Reallocates the servers (server blades)
• Powers on the servers
• Executes custom actions
• Sends notifications
When reallocating a server blade, infrastructure orchestration must find a server blade that matches
the original logical server definition, and physical characteristics of the previously allocated server
blade, including processor architecture and model. In addition, the new server blade must have
at least the same number of processors, amount of memory, and processor speed. If infrastructure
orchestration cannot find a server blade that meets these requirements, the request fails.
After successfully completing the operation, the physical server blades are allocated and configured
into existing server profiles, physical and virtual servers are powered on, and the servers return to
normal operation.
If the operation fails, the servers are not available to activate.
Deactivate servers in group operation
The Deactivate servers in group operation places the selected servers in standby and removes them
from service.
To deactivate servers
1. Open the infrastructure orchestration console, self service portal, or organization administrator
portal.
2. Select the Services or My Services tab.
3. Select a service and click Details or View Details.
4. From the Actions or Server Actions list, select Deactivate servers.
During this operation, infrastructure orchestration:
• Validates the request
• Deallocates the servers (server blades)
• Powers off the servers
• Executes custom actions
• Sends notifications
