Powering a Controller On and Off Using IPMI

You can power on or off, and reset a C Series Controller you are currently logged in to and for a remote controller. You must be logged on as a root user.

To execute a power command in the local controller using IPMI:

1. Log in as root user.

   SRC-PE Release 3.1 [R.3.1.0-12]

   login: root

2. Enter the password.

   Password: password

   You are now logged in as root user.

3. Access the CLI.

   [root@host ~]# cli

   --- SRC CLI 3.1 build CLI.R.3.1.0.012

   (c) 2005-2008 Juniper Networks Inc.

   root@host>

4. Enter the request ipmi power command.

   user@host>request ipmi power (on | off | soft-off | reset| cycle)

   • on—Power on a C Series Controller
   • off—Power off a C Series Controller. This command does not initiate a clean shutdown of the operating system before powering off the system.
   • soft-off—Power off a C Series Controller softly. This command initiates a soft shutdown of the operating system before powering off the system.
   • reset—Perform a hard reset on a C Series Controller.
   • cycle—Power off and then power on a C Series Controller.

   For example:

   user@host>request ipmi power off

To execute a power command on a remote controller using IPMI:

1. Log in as root user.
2. Enter the request ipmi host user power command.

   root@host>request ipmi host host user user power (on | off | soft-off | reset| cycle)

   For example:

   root@host>request ipmi host 10.10.10.30 user johndoe power reset
