DESCRIPTION

SystemManagement::GSP is used to control GSP-based telnet interfaces found on Hewlett-Packard Management Processors. It can be used to control system power on the attached system.

USAGE

$manage = SystemManagement::GSP->new( host => 'hostname' )

Creates the management object. Valid parameters are:

host      - IP or hostname to connect to (required)
user      - User to authenticate as (default: "Admin")
password  - Password to authenticate with (default: "Admin")
timeout   - Number of seconds to wait while connecting (default: 5)
debug     - Whether or not to report debugging info (default: 0)
port      - Port to connect to (default: "telnet(23)")

$manage->errmsg()

Reports any textual error messages from a previous function call that failed with an "undef" value.

$manage->establish_session()

Performs connection establishment, and returns "undef" if the connection fails. This is called automatically by any function that requires a session be established.

$manage->power_on()

Returns "undef" on error, or "1" if power was turned on (or if power was already on).

$manage->power_off()

Returns "undef" on error, or "1" if power was turned off (or if power was already off).

$manage->power_cycle()

Returns "undef" on error, or "1" if power was cycled. Power can only be cycled if power is on to start with.

$manage->is_powered_on()

Returns "undef" on error, or the power state of the system.

EXPORT

None by default.
