The following subcommands manage the platform power:
| Subcommand | Description |
|---|---|
| platform get power state | Provides the ability to determine the platform power state (for example, whether it is on or off). |
| platform set power state | Provides the ability to turn the platform power on or off. |
The platform set power state command will not affect the platform if the platform is already on (but will power on and boot the operating system if it is off). In other words, the platform set power state command ensures that the platform is on, but does not reboot it if it is not on.
The platform set os state command waits for the platform to boot; the
platform set power state command only waits for the power to come on.
