HI, I am not aware of any kind of external power management device support with xCAT. If you do not have too many machines, like more than 1,000, and your machines will not be frequently re-provisioned, manually powering on these machines to start the provisioning process might be easier than setup the power management.
I noticed that you work in the Cloud computing area, so I guess your machines might need to be frequently re-provisioned, if this is the case, I would suggest trying the xCAT virtualization support, i.e., kvm, xen, vmware, etc., setup the hypervisor on the PCs, then use the hypervisor to perform remote control for the virtual machines.

Following this post http://www.xcat.org/pipermail/xcat-user/2004-February/003260.html, I need to get an external power management device for 'rpower on|off' command to work. Is there a list of supported rpm devices for by xCAT 2.x?
