Powering On a Managed System

To power on a managed system from the HMC:

  1. In the Navigation Pane, select Systems Management to list the system resources.
  2. Select Servers.
  3. Select the desired managed system.
  4. In the Tasks Pad, select Operations to list the available tasks.
  5. Select Power On. A window displays. (See below left.)

    The managed systems can be powered on into one of four modes
    :
    • Partition Standby - Powers on the system to standby mode. Partition standby mode allows you to create and activate logical partitions individually.
    • System Profile - Powers on the system according to a predefined set of system profiles. You select the system profile from the displayed list.
    • Partition AutoStart - Powers on the system to partition standby mode and then activates all partitions that are marked autostart or were active when the system was shut down.
    • Hardware Discovery - The hardware discovery process captures information about about all I/O devices and records the hardware inventory in a cache on the managed system. After the discovery process is complete, the system is left in an operating state with all partitions in the powered off state. The collected information is then available for use when displaying data for I/O devices or when creating a system plan based on the managed system.

       

  6. Select a power on option and click OK.
