Yes if you can connect to the GSP over the LAN...though it would depend on the model of the server you are talking about?

[Torsten.]

You must connect to the GSP/MP/iLO and issue either "PC" or "PE" (model depending) from the command menu.

You power cycle a HP9000 or Itanium server using the MP/GSP. This depends on what kind of server you have.

select your server in above link and open the user guide.

Hi

If you have console access, you can do it.

You can configure the GSP port to connect as a console. Then as Torsten said you can use PC or PE to power cycle server and other H/W.

As mentioned, the server must have a GSP/MP/iLO version that has the power cycle command. Older models have no remote power cycle (ie, N-class, K-class, D-class, etc). Secondly, the remote site must have been setup to activate a remote console connection, that is, the LAN cable to the management port is connected and a working IP address (and subnet mask, etc) is assigned to the port. If none of this was done, then, no, you cannot power the system off with a standard network connection.
