Group power on/off

In the tab ‘Power On/Off’, you may add group-level power on or power off task. If you select one group and add one power on task, you need fill the ‘Task Name’. ‘Task Type’ should be ‘Power On’.

In order to avoid the unexpected power jump when servers are powered on at the same time, Energy Manager powers on servers one by one. You may set the proper time interval (unit: second) and its default value is 20 seconds. The task can be executed immediately.

You may also specify the task start time to be a future time. If you expect the task to be executed by weekly, you may set ‘Start Time’ to ‘Recurrent’, set the start time, what days are to execute and the effective time range of this task.

You may also add power off tasks. For power off task, Energy Manager gracefully power off servers firstly. If you check ‘try hard power-off if soft power-off fails’, Energy Manager may hard power off servers when graceful power-off fails. After the task is added, you may check the task detail info in the task table.

You may modify the task by clicking ‘Edit’ and remove it by clicking ‘Delete’. After the task is finished, you may click ‘Result’ to get the task execution result.
