Server Cold Boot Job
Overview
This job can be used to perform a cold boot on a server.
Cold Boot: Immediately removes power from the server. Processors, memory, and I/O resources lose main power. The server will restart after approximately 8 seconds. Using this option circumvents the graceful shutdown features of the operating system.
