Synopsis

Powers on a server hardware resource.

​
Syntax

Start-OVServer
    [-InputObject] <Object>
    [-Async]
    [-ApplianceConnection <Object>]
    [<CommonParameters>]

​
Description

Start-OVServer sends a momentary power-on signal to the specified server hardware via the iLO management processor. It is equivalent to calling the deprecated Set-OVServerPower -State On -powerControl MomentaryPress. The cmdlet accepts server hardware objects or server profile objects. When a server profile is provided, the underlying server hardware is powered on. If the server is already powered on, the operation is a no-op and the task completes successfully.

​
Parameters

​
InputObject
Object
required
The server hardware or server profile object to power on. Accepts pipeline input. The Server alias is also accepted.
​
Async
Switch
Return the async task object immediately without waiting for the operation to complete. Use Wait-OVTaskComplete to monitor the task.
​
ApplianceConnection
Object
The appliance connection object or name. Defaults to the default connected session. Accepted from the pipeline by property name.

​
Examples

​
Power on a server by name

$server = Get-OVServer -Name "Encl1, bay 1"
Start-OVServer -InputObject $server
Powers on Encl1, bay 1 and waits for the task to complete.

​
Power on using the pipeline

Get-OVServer -Name "Encl1, bay 1" | Start-OVServer
Pipes the server object directly to Start-OVServer.

​
Power on all servers in an enclosure asynchronously

$tasks = Get-OVServer -Name "Encl1*" | Start-OVServer -Async
$tasks | Wait-OVTaskComplete
Powers on all servers whose names begin with Encl1, submitting each as an async task and waiting for them all to finish.

​
Power on a server from its profile

$profile = Get-OVServerProfile -Name "Web-01"
Start-OVServer -InputObject $profile
Retrieves the server profile Web-01 and powers on the underlying server hardware.

​
Output

HPEOneView.Appliance.TaskResource Returns an async task resource for the power-on operation.
