From this interface, you do basically three things:
1. Enter the host name or IP address of the NetServer you wish to perform an
AOL2 action on.
2. Select the power action to perform (some of these actions also allow you to
gracefully shut down the NOS before performing the power option, this
Attempt Graceful Action option will be grayed if it is not supported in
conjunction with a power option).
NOTE If the server is experiencing a NOS hang, a graceful NOS shut
down may not be possible. In that event, the server will
perform the power function without a graceful shut down.
3. Click the Send AOL Command button.
4. You may then verify that the power function was successful by running HP
TopTools and opening the page for the server (it will indicate whether your
server is up or down), or pinging the server. Refer to the Server
Management Reference Guide included with your server to find out more
about HP TopTools.
