The options are: hardreset — Performs a force reset (reboot) operation on the managed system. powercycle — Performs a power-cycle operation on the managed system. This action is similar to pressing the power button on the system’s front panel to turn off and then turn on the system. powerdown — Powers down the managed system. powerup — Powers up the managed system. powerstatus — Displays the current power status of the server (ON or OFF). graceshutdown — Performs a graceful shutdown of the server.

NOTE: The halt system operation does not occur on systems running the Linux operating system. -f — Force the server power management operation. This option is applicable only for the PowerEdge-VRTX platform. It is used with powerdown,powercycle, and hardreset options. NOTE:The actionpowerstatus is not allowed with -a option.
