A
The Batch Power Control function consists of processes for remotely turning controlled servers on and off.
The following explains how a service behaves, using the example of turning controlled servers (Server 1 and Server 2) on and off from the power control server. Assume in this example that the UPSs connected to Server 1 and Server 2 are PowerChute(R) plus or PowerChute(R) Business Edition.
Power-on
The process for power-on is as follows:
The "Systemwalker MpJmCal" service (hereafter referred to as the "calendar service") on the power control server starts.
The calendar service on the power control server sends a request via the LAN to the UPS connected to Server 1 for starting power-on.
(A network management card is required at this time.)
The UPS connected to Server 1 receives the power-on request and then starts power-on. This causes Server 1 to start.
The calendar service on the power control server sends a request via the LAN to the UPS connected to Server 2 for starting power-on.
The UPS connected to Server 2 receives the power-on request and then starts power-on. This causes Server 2 to start.
Power-off
The process for power-off is as follows:
The calendar service on the power control server sends a request to the calendar service on Server 2 for powering off the server.
The calendar service on Server 2 receives the power-off request and starts the power-off command (UPSSLEEP.EXE).
The calendar service on the power control server sends a power-off request to the calendar service on Server 1.
The calendar service on Server 1 receives the power-off request and starts the power-off command (UPSSLEEP.EXE).
Information
If a problem relating to power control occurs, refer to "Power off is Not Operating Correctly" in the Troubleshooting Guide and take action.
