frupower Command

The frupower command turns on, turns off, or displays the current status of power for cells and I/O chassis in cell-based 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.
When using the Original nPartition Commands, the target and local nPartition are the same.
When using the Enhanced nPartition Commands, the target nPartition may be different from the local nPartition when the -u... -h... options are specified.




	CAUTION: When using the Enhanced nPartition Commands, the frupower -g... -h... command and options allow all power operations on all cells and I/O chassis in the target complex, even if this results in turning power off for a component of an active nPartition.




	NOTE: On servers based on the HP sx1000 chipset or HP sx2000 chipset, you cannot turn cell or I/O chassis power on or off for free cells or I/O chassis when nPartition Configuration Privilege is restricted and when not using the -g... -h... options. The nPartition Configuration Privilege setting does not affect the ability to control power using the frupower -g... -h... command and option.

Command syntax and options for frupower follow. Refer to the frupower(1M) manpage for details.

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...]

Enhanced nPartition Commands Notes.

The -u... -h... set of options may 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... -h... options may be specified to cause the command to send its management request using IPMI over LAN to a service processor in another server complex (but can also be used as a "loopback access" to the service processor in the local complex).

The -u and -g 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.

-f

Power off the specified cells or I/O chassis.

-c cell

The specified cell is powered on/off or the power status is displayed.

A cell can be specified either in the local (cabinet/slot) or global (cell_ID) format.

-i IOchassis

The specified IOchassis is powered on/off or the power status is displayed.

-C

Display power status of all cells. By default the scope is the entire complex if the -l option is not specified.

-I

Display power status of all I/O chassis. The scope is the entire complex if the -l option is not specified.

-l cabinet

Limit the scope of the -C or -I option to the specified cabinet.

-u username

Enhanced nPartition Commands only. Specifies the account and authorization to access an nPartition other than the local nPartition.

The -h option is required if this option is used.

username specifies a configured user name on the target nPartition.

-g

Enhanced nPartition Commands only. Allows access to the complex specified by the -h option. The accessed complex is then considered the target complex. Access is through the service processor LAN port.The -h option is required if this option is used.

-h IPaddress|hostname

Enhanced nPartition Commands only. This option is only used in combination with either the -u or -g option. IPaddress|hostname specifies the IP address or hostname of the target nPartition (-u) or service processor (-g).
