Request body

AttributesRequired / OptionalTypeDescription
powerStateOptionalStringPerforms a power operation on the device. This can be one of the following values.
  • restart. Restarts the server immediately.
If you specify this attribute, this method starts a job that runs in the background to perform the operation. The response header includes a URI in the form /tasks/{task_id} (for example, /tasks/12) that represents the job that is created to perform this request. You can use GET /tasks/{job_list} to monitor the status and progress of the job. If a job was not successfully started, refer to the response code and response body for details.
Attention
A successful response indicates that the request was successfully created and accepted by the management server. It does not indicate that the operation that is associated with the job was successful.
The following example restarts the target server:
{
"powerState": "restart"
}
