Power cycling a server
NOTE: This feature is available only on the vSphere Web Client.
The power to a ProLiant server can be turned off and on using the Power Control feature.
To use this feature, select Power Control from the Actions drop-down list.
IMPORTANT: Because this is not a graceful shutdown of the server, this feature should be used
with caution.
Rediscovering devices
NOTE: This feature is available only on the vSphere Web Client.
A rediscovery of all the devices associated with a selected host can be initiated using the Rediscover
Node feature. The rediscovery process may take up to 15 minutes to complete. Information collected
from the devices will be missing in various places in the plug-in until the rediscovery is complete.
