Sending graceful shutdown via AMT to intel NUC

by

I have several intel NUC (NUC5i5MYBE) hosts with AMT support and an up-to-date firmware (2017-05-06).

I am able to send power-up and (hard) power-off and get the correct power info using amtc and Python AMT Tools

According to the AMT 9.x notes there should be a way to send graceful shutdown (12) and graceful reboot (14). The version reported by the web interface (on port 16992) is Intel® Active Management Technology firmware version: 10.0.55-build 3000, so I should have this.

But when I send those commands, although I get an indication that the command was send successfully nothing was actually done by the NUC.

The OS that was suppose to perform the orderly shutdown is Windows 7.

Instead I get back an XML like this:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<a:Envelope xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:b="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing" xmlns:c="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/1/wsman.xsd" xmlns:d="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/02/trust" xmlns:e="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd" xmlns:f="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/1/cimbinding.xsd" xmlns:g="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/CIM_PowerManagementService" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

</a:Envelope>

I did not try to use openwsman, because I wasn’t able to figure out what are the proper arguments I need to use.

I also didn’t find anything that I need to turn on or off in the NUC’s BIOS settings nor in Windows.

So my question is: Is graceful power-on and/or graceful reset are available at all via AMT on intel NUC 5i5MYBE? And if so how can I send those commands (preferably with some Linux command line tool or API, such as wsman)

Answer

Intel made this super complicated.

While a reasonable person could think that you can maybe do something half simple, like this:
wsman invoke -a RequestPowerStateChange http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/CIM_PowerManagementService -h ${AMT_HOST} -P 16992 -u admin -p ${AMT_PASSWORD} -k PowerState=10

It’s much more “simple” than this. Judge for yourself:
wsman invoke -a RequestPowerStateChange http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/CIM_PowerManagementService -h ${AMT_HOST} -P 16992 -u admin -p ${AMT_PASSWORD} -J /tmp/power.xml

cat /tmp/power.xml
<p:RequestPowerStateChange_INPUT xmlns:p="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/CIM_PowerManagementService">
<p:PowerState>10</p:PowerState>
<p:ManagedElement xmlns:wsa="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing"
xmlns:wsman="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/1/wsman.xsd">

<wsman:SelectorSet>
<wsman:Selector Name="CreationClassName">CIM_ComputerSystem</wsman:Selector>
<wsman:Selector Name="Name">ManagedSystem</wsman:Selector>
</wsman:SelectorSet>
</wsa:ReferenceParameters>
</p:ManagedElement>
</p:RequestPowerStateChange_INPUT>
