Changing the power state for multiple servers

The Virtual Power Button section on the Group Power page displays a summary of the current
power state of the grouped servers, including the total number of servers that are in the ON, OFF,
or Reset status. The System Power summary indicates the state of the server power when the page
is first opened. Use the browser refresh feature to update the System Power information.

Some of the Virtual Power Button options do not shut down the operating system gracefully. Before
you use the Virtual Power Button options, you must initiate an operating system shutdown using
the Remote Console.
