Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) power management allows authorized users to control power for servers with IPMI controllers (also referred to as IPMI devices), which respond to IPMI commands over the network.
• Authorized users can manage power for IPMI devices through the Web Manager. For this type of IPMI power management, the IPMI device does not need to be physically connected to the OnSite, but the OnSite.needs network access to the device.
• Authorized users can also manage power for an IPMI device while logged into the device through a serial port to which the IPMI device is physically connected
