Power on/off a blade from the Management Module CLI

If you don’t have access to the web page of the Management Module, or you’re too lazy to walk to a PC, you can ssh into the management module and do it from the CLI.

Just ssh into the management module, and list the blades:

system> list -l 2
system
        mm[1]     standby
        mm[2]     primary
        power[1]
        power[2]
        power[3]
        power[4]
        blower[1]
        blower[2]
        switch[1]
        switch[2]
        switch[3]
        switch[4]
        blade[1]  laba
        blade[2]  copibma
        mt[1]

Then switch the environment to the blade in question:

system> env -T blade[2]
OK

Then issue the “power” command:

power -on

You can also use “-off”, or “-state”. Issue “help power” at the commandline for all the options.
