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 should not be confused with regular

expression character classes (also denoted by ‘’[]’’). For example, foo[19] does not represent foo1 or foo9, but rather

represents a degenerate range: foo19.

This range syntax is meant only as a convenience on clusters with a preﬁx NN naming convention. Range speciﬁcation should

not be considered necessary; the list foo1,foo9 could be speciﬁed as such, or by the range foo[1,9].

Some examples of PowerMan targets include:

Power on hosts bar,baz,foo01,foo02,...,foo05: powerman --on bar baz foo[01-05]

Power on hosts bar,foo7,foo9,foo10: powerman --on bar,foo[7,9-10]

Power on foo0,foo4,foo5: powerman --on foo[0,4-5]

As a reminder, some shells will interpret brackets ([ and ]) for pattern matching. Depending on your shell, it may be necessary

to enclose ranged lists within quotes. For example, in tcsh, the last example above should be executed as:

powerman --on “foo[0,4-5]”

15.9.2 Pmpower tool

The pmpower utility is a high-level tool for manipulating remote preconﬁgured power devices connected to the console

server via serial or network connection. The PDU, UPS and IPMI power devices are variously controlled using the open

source PowerMan, IPMItool or Network UPS Tools. Tripp Lite’s pmpower utility arches over these tools so devices can be

controlled through the one command line:

pmpower [-?h] [-l device | -r host] [-o outlet] [-u username] [-p password] action

-?/-h This help message.

-l The serial port to use.

-o The outlet on the power target to apply to.

-r The remote host address for the power target.

-u Override the conﬁgured username.

-p Override the conﬁgured password.

on This action switches the speciﬁed device or outlet(s) on.

off This action switches the speciﬁed device or outlet(s) off.

cycle This action switches the speciﬁed device or outlet(s) off and on again.

status This action retrieves the current status of the device or outlet.

Examples:

To turn outlet 4 of the power device connected to serial port 2 on: # pmpower -l port02 -o 4 on

To turn an IPMI device off located at IP address 192.168.1.100 (where username is ‘root’ and password is ‘calvin’: #

pmpower -r 192.168.1.100 -u root -p calvin off

Default system power device actions are speciﬁed in /etc/powerstrips.xml. Custom power devices can be added in /etc/

conﬁg/powerstrips.xml. If an action is attempted which has not been conﬁgured for a speciﬁc power device, pmpower will

exit with an error.
