Changing the Operational State
Changes the operational state of a system.
Parameters:
This command changes the system's states. The systems' states can be transitioned
as follows:
v Maintenance to On
v On to Shell
v Maintenance to Shell
The command can also run on the booting state after a power on (but not booting
after a reboot) and effectively change the target state in that situation. Other
operational state changes can be achieved through the following:
v On to Maintenance - using the Reboot command
v Any state to Off - using the Shutdown command
v Shell to Any - implemented via scripts, as the CLI is not active in shell
