PURPOSE

This document is written to facilitate performing an AC power cycle on the T3/T4/T5/T7 Servers

DETAILS

There are circumstances where part of an action plan to resolve a system issue may require an AC power cycle, also known as a complete power cycle. This differs from power cycle initiated
through ILOM commands such as "stop /SYS" as 3.3v standby power is always present in the system . You must unplug the AC power cords to perform a complete power cycle. It is
recommended that all the AC cords are removed from where they connect to the system itself and remain all unplugged for 75 seconds or greater

There is an additional step required for T7-1, T7-2, and T7-4 Systems:

For all scenarios where an AC power cycle, or AC power down is required for a T7-x server please use the following steps prior to following the process above to pull the AC power cords

1) Enter the ILOM restricted shell.

Any user with the [a]dmin or the [s]ervice role can enter the Restricted Shell via the spsh shell.
No password is required to enter the Restricted Shell.

-> set SESSION mode=restricted

WARNING: The "Restricted Shell" account is provided solely

to allow Services to perform diagnostic tasks.
