Power off server

I'm trying to send a REST API call to a server to power it off, but getting back:

{"errorCode":"INVALID_JSON_DATA_TYPE","message":"Invalid JSON data type.","details":"The JSON sent in the request contained a unknown type where a different unknown type is required on line 1 near column 15.","messageParameters":[],"recommendedActions":["Correct the content of the JSON and retry the request."],"errorSource":null,"nestedErrors":[],"data":{}}

Just realized why I was getting that. I was using "off" instead of "Off." So, case is significant. Might be good to point out in the API reference what the exact allowed values are for powerState?

My working code is:

SERVER=my.fqdn POWER=<On|Off> ACTV=$(python -c "import urllib, sys; print urllib.quote(sys.argv[1])" "\"serverName = '${SERVER}'\"") UUID=$(curl --insecure --silent \ --header "auth: ${sessionID}" \ --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" \ --request GET ${OneView}/rest/server-hardware?filter=${ACTV} | jq -r '.members[] | .uuid') DATA='{"powerState":"'${POWER}'","powerControl":"MomentaryPress"}' TASKURI=$(curl --insecure \ --header "content-type: application/json" \ --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" \ --header "auth: ${sessionID}" \ --include \ --data "${DATA}" \ --request PUT ${OneView}/rest/server-hardware/${UUID}/powerState | grep '^Location:' | awk '{ print $2}) echo "Can check the power off task at: ${TASKURI}"
