vcemcli -poweron devicebay –enclosurename enc0 –bayname 2

VCEM Group Limited Operator
Remarks
When –nb is specified, this command does not indicate that the power has actually been turned
on. It is only an indication that the request has been successfully passed to Virtual Connect Manager.
The –show power-status command must be polled to determine whether the bay has been
successfully powered on. An error is reported if the bay or enclosure name is invalid.
NOTE: When a timeout is specified, this command will block and poll the power status on an
interval defined by pollinginterval until the timeout is reached. A return of success means
the power is successfully turned on. The VCEMCLI will wait for a maximum of 3600 seconds (1
hour) by default when no timeout has been specified for the command.
Prerequisites
The bay must contain a server.
