DESCRIPTION

The Stop-PcsvDevice cmdlet shuts down a remote hardware device by using Web Services for Management

(WS-Management) or Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI). The cmdlet puts the device in the Disabled

state, which corresponds to a hard shutdown of the hardware device. Specify the remote hardware device by the management name or IP address, provide credentials necessary to shut down the remote hardware device, and specify which management protocol to use. The credentials must have administrator permissions on the remote hardware device.

PARAMETERS

-Authentication []

Specifies an authentication method to use for devices managed by using WS-Management. Do not specify this

parameter for devices managed by using IPMI. The acceptable values for this parameter are:The acceptable values for this parameter are:

-- Basic

-- Digest

-- Default

If you specify Default for this parameter and a value of WSMAN for the ManagementProtocol parameter, the cmdlet uses Basic authentication. Required? false Position? named Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false

-CimSession []

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such

as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local

computer. Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-Credential

Specifies a PSCredential object based on a user name and password. To obtain a PSCredential object, use the

Get-Credential cmdlet. For more information, type Get-Help Get-Credential. This parameter specifies the

credential for the remote hardware device. Required? true Position? 3 Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false

-ManagementProtocol

Specifies a management protocol used to communicate with a device. The acceptable values for this parameter are:The acceptable values for this parameter are:

-- WSMAN

-- IPMI

Refer to your hardware documentation for supported management protocols. Specify WSMAN for devices that represent information by using Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH), Desktop and mobile Architecture for System Hardware (DASH), or Physical Computer System View profiles. Required? true Position? 4 Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false

-PassThru []

passthru Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-Port []

Specifies a port on the remote computer to use for the management connection. If you do not specify a port, the cmdlet uses the following default values:

-- IPMI and WSMAN over HTTP. Port 623.

-- WSMAN over HTTPS. Port 664.

Required? false Position? 5 Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false

-ShutdownType []

Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-SkipCACheck []

Indicates that the client connects by using HTTPS without validating that a trusted CA signed the server certificate. Do not specify this parameter if you specify a value of IPMI for the ManagmentProtocol parameter. Do not specify this parameter unless you can establish trust in another way, such as if the remote computer is part of a network that is physically secure and isolated, or if the remote computer is a trusted host in a Windows Remote Management (WinRM) configuration. Required? false Position? named Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false

-SkipCNCheck []

Indicates that the certificate CN of the server does not need to match the host name of the server. Do not specify this parameter if you specify a value of IPMI for the ManagmentProtocol parameter.

Specify this parameter only for managing devices by using WS-Management over HTTPS. Be sure to specify this

parameter only for trusted computers. Required? false Position? named Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false

-SkipRevocationCheck []

Indicates that the cmdlet skips the revocation check of server certificates. Do not specify this parameter if you specify a value of IPMI for the ManagmentProtocol parameter. Be sure to specify this parameter only for trusted computers. Required? false Position? named Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false

-TargetAddress

Specifies the name or IP address of the management port on the remote hardware device. For server hardware, this is typically a dedicated Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) IP address. For other devices, like network switches, this is the IP address of their management port. For desktop and mobile devices, the BMC sometimes shares the same IP address as the computer. Required? true Position? 2 Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false

-ThrottleLimit []

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShellr calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer. Required? false Position? named Default value none Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-TimeoutSec []

Specifies how long to wait, in seconds, for a response from the remote hardware device. After this period, the cmdlet abandons the connection attempt. Required? false Position? named Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false

-UseSSL []

Indicates that the server connects to the target computer by using SSL. WSMAN encrypts all content transmitted over the network. Specify this parameter to use the additional protection of HTTPS instead of HTTP. If you specify this parameter and SSL is not available on the connection port, the command fails. Required? false Position? named Default value none

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false

-Confirm []

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet. Required? false Position? named Default value false Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false

-WhatIf []

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run. Required? false Position? named Default value false Accept pipeline input? false Accept wildcard characters? false This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug, ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable, OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).

INPUTS

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#root/Microsoft/Windows/HardwareManagement/MSFT_PCSVDevice A MSFT_PCSVDevice object that is the target for the operation. To obtain a MSFT_PCSVDevice object, use the

Get-PcsvDevice cmdlet.

OUTPUTS

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#root/Microsoft/Windows/HardwareManagement/MSFT_PCSVDevice The cmdlet only returns an MSFT_PCSVDevice object if you specify the PassThru parameter.

Example 1: Shut down a computer

PS C:\> $Credential = Get-Credential

PS C:\>Stop-PcsvDevice -TargetAddress "10.1.12.43" -Credential $Credential -ManagementProtocol IPMI

This example shuts down a computer.

The first command uses the Get-Credential cmdlet to create a credential, and then stores it in the $Credential

variable. The cmdlet prompts you for a user name and password. For more information, type Get-Help Get-Credential.

The second command shuts down the computer that has the management IP address 10.1.12.43 by using the IPMI

management protocol. The command specifies the credential object, stored in the $Credential variable, needed to

connect to the computer. By default, the cmdlet prompts you before it stops the remote hardware device.
