    # Power the virtual machine on or off
ipmitool -I lanplus -U admin -P password -H 127.0.0.1 power on|off

# Check the power status
ipmitool -I lanplus -U admin -P password -H 127.0.0.1 power status

# Set the boot device to network, hd or cdrom
ipmitool -I lanplus -U admin -P password -H 127.0.0.1 chassis bootdev pxe|disk|cdrom

# Get the current boot device
ipmitool -I lanplus -U admin -P password -H 127.0.0.1 chassis bootparam get 5
