NOTE: -r —Specifies the reboot type. The type can be one of the following:
pwrcycle—Power cycle
Graceful —Graceful reboot without forced shutdown
Forced—Graceful reboot with forced shutdown
NOTE: -s —Specifies the start time for the scheduled job in yyyymmddhhmmss format.
TIME_NOW starts the job immediately and will cause the server to immediately reboot and run the job.
3. The following screen will already have selected the target device that your previously selected from the “All Devices” tab. If you want, you can select a group or another server/servers. In the example below I clicked “1 Selected” and it the following screen appears, that allows you to select multiple systems. For example, I’ve selected two. Click “OK”
4.It will bring you back to original target device tab – click next
5. You can decide on the schedule tab if you want to “Run Now” or you can schedule a date and time
6. You can view the details of the job by going to the “Monitor” tab and clicking on view details
7. It will advise if the commands were successful in the bottom left-hand corner of the image
The second way of performing the same action is very similar but, in this scenario, it will only run on the selected system ie you can’t choose multiple servers.
1. Select the system in question from the “All Device” tab and click “View Details”.
2. Click “Remote Command Line”
3. Enter the same command we listed before and click “Send”

In answer to your query, from OME you can remotely initiate a full AC power cycle but only by using racadm CLI
There are two ways of running the remote racadm commands. I’ll demonstrate both but using either method will perform the same operation.
1. Select the system in question from the “All Device” tab, click more actions and RACADM CLI.
2. The Command Line job wizard will appear, enter the following commands and click next
NOTE: -r —Specifies the reboot type. The type can be one of the following:
NOTE: -s —Specifies the start time for the scheduled job in yyyymmddhhmmss format.
TIME_NOW starts the job immediately and will cause the server to immediately reboot and run the job.

3. Enter the same command we listed before and click “Send”
4. It will immediately pop up with the results of command and let you know if the commands were successful or not.

thanks for sharing Emmet,
I thought an administrator had to be physically on-site to disconnect cables, I didn't realize the iDRAC had this option, nice tip!
