Virtual Power

The Virtual Power button enables control of the power state of the remote server and simulates pressing the physical power button on the server. If the remote host server is not responding, this feature enables an administrator to initiate a cold or warm reboot to bring the server back online.

Some of these features will not gracefully shut down the operating system. An operating system shutdown should be initiated using the Remote Console before using the Virtual Power button.

Use the refresh feature of the browser to keep the status of the power indicator up to date.
