Powering On or Off a Switching Plane

Scenarios

Remotely power on or off the converged switching planes of the CX310 using any of the following methods:

• Power on or off all switching planes of the CX310 on the HMM WebUI.
• On the MM910 CLI, run the powerstate command to power on or off the switching planes of the CX310. For details, see the MM910 Management Module V100R001 Command Reference.
• On the BMC CLI, run the powerstate command to power on or off the switching planes of the CX310. For details, see the E9000 Server V100R001 iMana 200 User Guide.
• If the chassis is not powered on, power it on, and all the switching planes of the CX310 will be powered on with the chassis. This section does not provide the operation details.
• If the chassis is powered off, the CX310 converged switching plane will be powered off with the chassis.
• If the chassis is powered on but the CX310 is not installed, install the CX310, and all switching planes of the CX310 will be automatically powered on after installation. This section does not provide the operation details.
• If the chassis is powered on and the CX310 is installed, remove the CX310 to power off the converged switching plane.

Impact on the System

When one switching plane of the CX310 is powered off, services running on all switching planes stop.
