15.9 Power Strip Control
TheConsoleServersupportsagrowinglistofremotepower-controldevices(RPCs)whichcanbeconguredusingthe
ManagementConsoleasdescribedinChapter8.TheseRPCsarecontrolledusingtheopensourceNUT and PowerMan tools
and the pmpower utility.
15.9.1 PowerMan
PowerMan provides power management in a data center or compute cluster environment. It performs operations such as
poweron,poweroff,andpowercycleviaremotepowercontroller(RPC)devices.Targethostnamesaremappedtoplugson

Target Specification
powermantargethostnamesmaybespeciedascomma-separatedorspace-separatedhostnamesorhostranges.Host
rangesareofthegeneralform:prex[n-m,l-k,...],wheren<mandl<k,etc.,Thisformshouldnotbeconfusedwith
regularexpressioncharacterclasses(alsodenotedby''[]'').Forexample,foo[19]doesnotrepresentfoo1orfoo9,butrather
represents a degenerate range: foo19.
ThisrangesyntaxismeantonlyasaconvenienceonclusterswithaprexNNnamingconventionandspecicationofranges
shouldnotbeconsiderednecessary--thelistfoo1,foo9couldbespeciedassuch,orbytherangefoo[1,9].
