Black Box LES1232A, LES1332A, LES1408A, LES144BA PowerMan tool, Synopsis, Target Specification

15.9.1 The PowerMan tool

PowerMan provides power management in a data center or compute cluster environment. It performs operations such as power on, power off, and power cycle via remote power controller (RPC) devices.

Synopsis

powerman [-option] [targets] pm [-option] [targets]

Options

-1,--onPower ON targets. -0,--offPower OFF targets.

-c, --cycle	Power cycle targets.
-r, --reset	Assert hardware reset for targets (if implemented by RPC).
-f, --flash	Turn beacon ON for targets (if implemented by RPC).
-u, --unflash	Turn beacon OFF for targets (if implemented by RPC).

-l,--listList available targets. If possible, output will be compressed into a host range (see TARGET SPECIFICATION below).

-q, --query	Query plug status of targets. If none specified, query all targets. Status is not cached;
	each time this option is used, powermand queries the appropriate RPC's. Targets
	connected to RPC's that could not be contacted (e.g. due to network failure) are
-n, --node	reported as status "unknown". If possible, output will be compressed into host ranges.
	Query node power status of targets (if implemented by RPC). If no targets specified,
	query all targets. In this context, a node in the OFF state could be ON at the plug but
-b, --beacon	operating in standby power mode.
	Query beacon status (if implemented by RPC). If no targets are specified, query all
-t, --temp	targets.
	Query node temperature (if implemented by RPC). If no targets are specified, query all
	targets. Temperature information is not interpreted by powerman and is reported as
-h, --help	received from the RPC on one line per target, prefixed by target name.
	Display option summary.
-L, --license	Show powerman license information.

-d,--destination host[:port] Connect to a powerman daemon on non-default host and optionally port.

-V, --version	Display the powerman version number and exit.
-D, --device	Displays RPC status information. If targets are specified, only RPC's matching the target
-T, --telemetry	list are displayed.
	Causes RPC telemetry information to be displayed as commands are processed. Useful
-x, --exprange	for debugging device scripts.
	Expand host ranges in query responses.

Target Specification

powerman target hostnames may be specified as comma separated or space separated hostnames or host ranges. Host ranges are of the general form: prefix[n-m,l-k,...], where n < m and l < k, etc., This form
