You can power on, power off, cycle power, and perform graceful shutdown for all nodes that have associated power interfaces in a node group.
This is useful if you need to power down all nodes in a node group so that you can rewire the rack on which they are mounted or if you need to perform other types of maintenance on a node group.
Choose Nodes > Group Power Control. The Group Power Control screen appears.
Click the Node Group drop-down arrow and select the node group whose power you want to control from the list.
In the Available list, select the specific interface on which you want to perform power control, and then click Add to move the interface to the Selected list. Repeat this step until you have added all necessary interfaces to the Selected list. If you must remove an interface, select the interface in the Selected list, and then click Remove.
Arrange the interfaces in the Selected list in the order you would like CC-SG to perform the power operation. Select an interface in the Selected list and click the up and down arrows to move the interface into the desired sequence.
Click the Operation drop-down arrow, and select Power On, Power Off, Power Cycle, Graceful Shutdown, or Suspend from the list.
If you selected Power On, Power Off, Graceful Shutdown, or Suspend in the Operation field, type the number of seconds (from 0-120) that should elapse between interfaces in the Sequence Interval (seconds) field.
Click OK to send the power operation request through the selected interfaces. A confirmation message appears.
A Power Status Messages window opens to show you the status of the power control operation. Messages populate the window as new information is received about the power control operation. Keep this window open until all power control operations are complete, so that you can monitor progress.
See Power Status Messages for details on how CC-SG alerts you to successful and failed power control operations.
