a graceful operating system shutdown before you attempt to shut down by using the Virtual Power
Button.
• Press and Hold—The same as pressing the physical power button for 5 seconds and then releasing
it.
The servers in the selected group are powered off as a result of this operation. Using this option might
circumvent a graceful operating system shutdown.
This option provides the ACPI functionality that some operating systems implement. These operating
systems behave differently, depending on a short press or long press.
• Reset—Forces the servers in the selected group to warm-boot: CPUs and I/O resources are reset.
Using this option circumvents a graceful operating system shutdown.
• Cold Boot—Immediately removes power from the servers in the selected group. Processors, memory,
and I/O resources lose main power. The servers will restart after approximately 6 seconds. Using this
option circumvents a graceful operating system shutdown.
