how to run a bulk turn on\turn off of the physical machines from UCS?

Hi, all:

I'm a newbie using UCS 2.0(1.x)  and would like to reset multiple servers in a single command instead that doing one by one?

Regards,

Alberto.

Hello Alberto,

Welcome to UCS.

I will share one way to reset multiple servers at same time but there might be other options in CLI / GUI that I am not aware of.

1)  Create a IPMI policy with a user having admin rights.

2)  Associate the IPMI policy to the service profiles

3)  Create a script or batch file with ipmi commands target CIMC ip address.

----------------------------------------

power down the host

ipmitool -H -U -P raw 0  2  0

power up the host

ipmitool -H -U -P raw 0  2  1

power cycle the host

ipmitool -H -U -P raw 0  2  2

hard reset the host

ipmitool -H -U -P raw 0  2  3

----------------------------------------

HTH
