frupower
The frupower command turns on, turns off, or displays the current status of power for
cells and I/O chassis in nPartition servers.
Root permission is required to run this command.
•By default, the frupower command permits you to power on or off inactive cells and
I/O chassis that either are assigned to the target nPartition or are not assigned to any
nPartition.
• I/O chassis power is turned on or off when the cell to which it is connected is powered
on or off. However, you also can control I/O chassis power separately from cell power
in certain situations.
— You can turn on I/O chassis power when a powered-off I/O chassis is attached to
an active cell assigned to the target nPartition. The nPartition must be rebooted
for the power on to become effective.
— You can turn off I/O chassis power when the I/O chassis is not assigned to an
nPartition and (on HP Integrity Superdome servers) when nPartition
Configuration Privilege is unrestricted.
• The target nPartition may be different from the local nPartition when the -u...
-h... options are specified.
CAUTION When using the frupower -h... -g... command and options all power operations are
allowed on all cells or I/O chassis in the target complex, even if this results in turning
power off for a component of an active nPartition.
Syntax frupower [ -d | -o | -f ] -c cell [-c...]
frupower [ -d | -o | -f ] -i IOchassis [-i...]
frupower [-d] -C [-l cabinet] [-l...]
frupower [-d] -I [-l cabinet] [-l...]
•The -h... -g... options must be specified to cause the command to send its
management request using IPMI over LAN to a management processor in another
server complex (but can also be used as a “loopback access” to the management
processor in the local complex).
•The -h... -u... set of options must be specified to cause the command to send its
management request using WBEM to an nPartition other than the local nPartition
(but can also be used as a “loopback access” to the local nPartition).
The -g and -u options are mutually exclusive.
Options -d Display power status of the specified cells or I/O chassis. This is the
default.
-o Power on the specified cells or I/O chassis.
The -o and -f options are mutually exclusive. The -o and -f options
are unavailable with -C and -I.
