The system management resource provides management of different management access methods, reboot/shutdown and diagnostic functions.

Child Topics
  • System management objects

    The object model describing this resource contains the following objects.

  • Reboot node

    Initiate a reboot of a cluster node. Any virtual servers running on the cluster node will be migrated to another node. The API call returns after initiating the reboot request, and does not wait for the reboot to complete.

  • Shutdown node

    Initiate a shutdown of a cluster node. Any virtual servers running on the cluster node will be migrated to another node. Access to the node will be required to power it on again, either physically or via IPMI.

  • Reboot cluster

    Initiate a reboot of all nodes in a cluster. All nodes will reboot simultaneously and access to all virtual servers will stop. There will be a short wait while all the nodes reboot and restart. The API call returns after initiating the reboot request, and does not wait for the reboot to complete.

  • Reboot cluster sequentially

    Initiate a reboot of all nodes in a cluster, in sequence. All nodes will reboot one after the other, which should ensure that all virtual servers remain running while the cluster reboots. There will be short interruptions while the virtual servers migrate as the node they are running on reboots, and they migrate to another node. The API call returns after initiating the reboot request, and does not wait for the reboot to complete.

  • Shutdown cluster

    Initiate a shutdown of all cluster nodes. Access to the nodes will be required to power it on again, either physically or via IPMI.

  • Get boot details

    Get the details about the last boot for all nodes in a cluster, and their current uptimes.

  • Get node boot details

    Get the details about the last boot for a specific cluster node, and its current uptime.

  • Get diagnostics for all nodes

    Get diagnostics from all nodes within the cluster. This API call will not respond immediately, as the diagnostics need to be generated before download. The more nodes in the cluster, the longer the diagnostics may take.

  • Get node diagnostics

    Get diagnostics from a specific cluster node.

  • Get login banner

    Get the login banner contents, and enabled state. If enabled, the login banner is presented to any user who connects to the system via SSH or via the GUI.

  • Reset login banner to default

    Reset the login banner contents to the default. The enabled status of the banner is not changed.

  • Update login banner
