HP Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition II Board - Manual (Page 46)

Using the RILOE II 46
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, the Virtual Power
button feature allows you to initiate a cold or warm reboot to bring the server back online.
Some of the following power options do not gracefully shut down the operating system. To initiate a
graceful shutdown, use 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.
To use the Virtual Power button, select the power option you want and click to initiate the power option.
The available power options are:
• Shutdown Server and Power OFF performs a graceful shutdown before initiating a power off to the
host server. Shutdown Server and Power OFF is enabled on if RILOE II is attached to the server's
power button using the correct cable.
• Turn Server Power ON turns the server on.
• Force Server Power Off forces the server power off and does not initiate a graceful shutdown. Force
Server Power Off is available only if RILOE II is attached to the server's power button using the
correct cable.
• Reboot Server initiates a reboot of the server and does not initiate a graceful shutdown before
rebooting the server.
Virtual media
RILOE II Virtual Media option provides you with a Virtual Floppy disk drive and CD-ROM drive, which can
direct a remote host server to boot and use standard media from anywhere on the network. Virtual Media
devices are available when the host system is booting. RILOE II Virtual media devices connect to the host
server using USB technology. Using USB also enables new capabilities for RILOE II Virtual Media devices
when connected to USB-supported operating systems. Different operating systems provide varying levels
of USB support.
