Power Management with AlterPath™ PM Integration
pmCommand command
Through pmCommand command, the administrator has access to other options beyond
the menu options, because he will be accessing the IPDU itself. The administrator must
have a good knowledge of the AlterPath PM command set to use it.
There are two ways to use this command. If only the IPDU port is passed as an argument,
it will appear in a prompt where the administrator can write the command. Otherwise,
the arguments after the IPDU port will be considered the PM command.
Syntax:
pmCommand <IPDU port> [<command>]
For example:
[root@CAS root]# pmCommand 1
