NAME
powerman - power on/off nodes
SYNOPSIS
powerman [-option] [targets]
pm [-option] [targets]
DESCRIPTION
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
RPC devices in
OPTIONS
- -1, --on
- Power ON targets.
- -0, --off
- Power OFF targets.
- -c, --cycle
- Power cycle targets.
- -r, --reset
- Assert hardware reset for targets (if implemented by RPC).
- -f, --flash
- Turn beacon ON for targets (if implemented by RPC).
- -u, --unflash
- Turn beacon OFF for targets (if implemented by RPC).
- -l, --list
- List available targets. If possible, output will be compressed
into a host range (see TARGET SPECIFICATION below).
- -q, --query
- Query plug status of targets. If none specified, query all
targets. Status is not cached; each time this option is used,
powermand queries the appropriate RPC's. Targets connected to RPC's
that could not be contacted (e.g. due to network failure) are
reported as status "unknown". If possible, output will be
compressed into host ranges.
- -n, --node
- Query node power status of targets (if implemented by RPC). If
no targets specified, query all targets. In this context, a node in
the OFF state could be ON at the plug but operating in standby
power mode.
- -b, --beacon
- Query beacon status (if implemented by RPC). If no targets are
specified, query all targets.
- -t, --temp
- Query node temperature (if implemented by RPC). If no targets
are specified, query all targets. Temperature information is not
interpreted by powerman and is reported as received from the RPC on
one line per target, prefixed by target name.
- -h, --help
- Display option summary.
- -L, --license
- Show powerman license information.
- -d, --destination host[:port]
- Connect to a powerman daemon on non-default host and optionally
port.
- -V, --version
- Display the powerman version number and exit.
- -D, --device
- Displays RPC status information. If targets are specified, only
RPC's matching the target list are displayed.
- -T, --telemetry
- Causes RPC telemetry information to be displayed as commands
are processed. Useful for debugging device scripts.
- -x, --exprange
- Expand host ranges in query responses.
TARGET SPECIFICATION
powerman target hostnames may
be specified as comma separated or space separated hostnames or
host ranges. Host ranges are of the general form:
prefix[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 prefixNN naming convention and specification of ranges
should not be considered necessary -- the list foo1,foo9 could be
specified as such, or by the range foo[1,9].
Some examples of powerman targets follows:
Power on hosts bar,baz,foo01,foo02,...,foo05
powerman --on bar baz foo[01-05]
Power on hosts bar,foo7,foo9,foo10
powerman --on bar,foo[7,9-10]
Power on foo0,foo4,foo5
powerman --on foo[0,4-5]
As a reminder to the reader, some shells will interpret brackets
([ and ]) for pattern matching. Depending on your shell, it may be
necessary to enclose ranged lists within quotes. For example, in
tcsh, the last example above should be executed as:
powerman --on "foo[0,4-5]"
