Remote ipmitool DIAG OS power management
About this task
Use ipmitool to reboot and power-off from the BMC serial console command prompt.
NOTE: When building the kernel for VEP4600, the kernel flag CONFIG_IPMI_POWEROFF should be set to n. Having this
flag turned on will cause the kernel to send the ipmi command to power down the chassis when the CPU is powered-off.
For example, pressing the push button for five seconds will power down the CPU.
Pressing the push button for 5 secs with this flag set to n in the kernel will power down the chassis (standby mode). The
only way to power-up the chassis will be to issue the ipmi command from remote station to the BMC to power-on the
VEP4600.
