[-sc sc_url] 
-ucs_manager ucsmanagername 
[-dn distinguishedname]
-operation operation 
[-ws_user username]
[-ws_password password]
[-locale iso639value]

-operation operations

Defines the blade power cycle options. Valid entries are:

• 2 = Power Cycle. Immediately powers down the blade, then powers up the blade.
• 3 = Graceful Shut Down. Allows data to be saved, then powers down the blade, and powers up the blade.
• 4 = Reset Immediately. Allows you to unplug the power supply to the blade, and then plug it back without saving data.
• 5 = Reset Wait. Allows data to be saved before you unplug the power supply, and plug it back in.
• 6 = Soft Shut Down. Notifies all running applications of a shutdown so data is saved.
• 7 = Shut Down. Shuts down the blade without saving data.
• 8 = Boot Up. Boots the blade.
