Power Off (if On)
Allows the user to remotely power off the selected server. The
following two options are presented in a pop-up menu when Power
Off is selected:
Graceful:
Ends the current operating system session on the
selected server before powering off the server.
Forced:
Bypasses the shutdown of the operating system and
immediately powers down the server.
CAUTION:
A “Forced” Power Off could result in a loss of data and/
or damage to the server. It is highly recommended to
use the “Graceful” option under normal circumstances.
Reset
Allows the user to remotely reset the selected server. This action has
the same effect as pressing the front panel reset button.
CAUTION:
This may cause data loss on the server. Use the
Graceful Shutdown to shut down applications and the
operating system.
Remote Serial Console
Opens a new window that includes instructions on how to connect to
the server's remote serial port using a secure shell (SSH) client
application. The serial port, if enabled in BIOS enables you to view
server startup messages, enter the BIOS Setup (use <Escape>+2
key sequence), view OS initialization messages and interact with an
application or OS that makes use of the serial port.
Remote KVM & CD
Opens a new window, allowing an IT administrator to use remote
keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) and media to monitor and
manage the selected server remotely. The KVM functionality allows
you to view server startup messages, enter the BIOS setup, and
interact with the server operating system. The remote CD capability
allows you to share a CD drive or CD image on your client machine
with the remote server.
Terminate KVM Session
Sends a message to the KVM session user and terminates the KVM
session.
Identify
Illuminates the server ID LED, which enables easy onsite
identification of a selected server.
Server Failover
Rapidly reassigns all virtual drives from the currently assigned
server slot to another server slot. As an example, this may be
required when a server encounters hardware problems.
Note:
All drive positions are preserved during this operation.
Global Action Menu Item
Description
Power On/Off Multiple
Servers
Enables an IT administrator to power on or off multiple servers at
once. Select the type of action first (power on, power off, reset).
Then select the servers to apply the action.
CAUTION:
To avoid potential data loss when selecting power off
the Graceful Shutdown option is recommended to shut
down applications and the operating system.
