Virtual Console Actions on HP Hardwares

1. Momentary Press

  - If server is ON, this action will power OFF the server (simulates graceful shutdown from the OS)

  - If server is OFF, this action will power ON the server

2. Press and Hold

  - When triggered while server is ON, this will force shutdown the server

  - Simulates a physical "press and hold for 6 seconds" on the power switch

  - Useful if OS is not responding to Momentary Press

3. Cold Boot

  - This action will power OFF a running server, waits for 6 seconds and powers it ON

  - You can't use this action when the server is OFF

4. Reset

  - Simulates a reboot from the OS (shutdown -r now)

  - Quickest way to close a frozen program so system may try to recover data and repair software

  - In contrast to "Cold boot", this is referred as "Warm boot"
