You can save energy using the agent's Wake on LAN (WOL) feature to automate the startup and shutdown of your computers. WOL lets you define and schedule WOL jobs to send a signal to a server to turn it on. When the server is no longer needed, you can schedule a different command job to power it down.
Note: To run these jobs, your system requires CA WA Agent for UNIX, Linux, or Windows. Your agent administrator must configure the agent to support WOL. For more information about configuring the agent to support WOL, see the CA Workload Automation Agent for UNIX, Linux, or Windows Implementation Guide.
Wake on LAN (WOL) is a hardware and software solution that lets you wake up a computer remotely. The solution requires an ACPI-compliant computer and a special software program that sends a signal to the computer's network card to wake it up. The agent provides the AMD magic packet to broadcast the signal to a computer that has been soft-powered-down (ACPI D3-warm state).
