Soft power operation support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The power interface ``ilo`` supports soft power off and soft reboot
operations on a bare metal. Following commands can be used to perform
soft power operations on a server:
.. code-block:: console
openstack baremetal node reboot --soft \
[--power-timeout <power-timeout>] <node>
openstack baremetal node power off --soft \
[--power-timeout <power-timeout>] <node>
.. note::
The configuration ``[conductor]soft_power_off_timeout`` is used as a
default timeout value when no timeout is provided while invoking
hard or soft power operations.
.. note::
Server POST state is used to track the power status of HPE ProLiant Gen9
servers and beyond.
