15. Advanced Conﬁguration

15.9 Power Strip Control

The console server supports a growing list of remote power-control devices (RPCs), which can be conﬁgured using the

management console as described in 8. Power, Environment and Digital I/O. These RPCs are controlled using the open source

PowerMan and Network UPS Tools, and with Tripp Lite’s pmpower utility.

15.9.1 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, --on Power ON targets.

-0, --off Power 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, --list List 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, PowerMan queries the appropriate RPCs. Targets connected to RPCs

that could not be contacted (e.g., due to network failure) are reported as status “unknown”. If

possible, output will be compressed into host ranges.

-n, --node Query node power status of targets (if implemented by RPC). If no targets are speciﬁed, query

all targets. In this context, a node in the OFF state could be ON at the plug, but operating in

standby power mode.

-b, --beacon Query beacon status (if implemented by RPC). If no targets are speciﬁed, query all targets.

-t, --temp 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 received from the

RPC on one line per target, preﬁxed by target name.

-h, --help Display option summary.

-L, --license Show PowerMan license information.

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

-V, --version Display the PowerMan version number and exit.

-D, --device Displays RPC status information. If targets are speciﬁed, only RPCs matching the target list are

displayed.

-T, --telemetry Causes RPC telemetry information to be displayed as commands are processed. Useful for

debugging device scripts.

-x, --exprange Expand host ranges in query responses.
