Remarks
When –nb is specified, this command does not indicate that the power has been actually turned
on. It is only an indication that the request has been successfully passed to the Virtual Connect
Manager. The –show power-status command must be polled in order to determine if the bay
has successfully been powered on. An error is reported if the bay or enclosure name is invalid.
NOTE: When a timeout is specified, this command will block and poll the power status on an
interval defined by pollinginterval until the timeout is reached. A return of success means
the power is successfully turned on. VCEMCLI will wait for a maximum of 3600 seconds (1 hour)
by default when no timeout has been specified for the command.
Prerequisites
The bay must contain a server.
