You can use CMC service to power on the nodes without nodehandler by
accessing CMC web service (from the console). For eaxmple, to turn on
node1-1 you could issue:

wget http://cmc:5012/cmc/on&x=1?y=1  

For more details, please check the help page at http://cmc:5012/cmc .

Yes nodehandler will unload the driver at the end of experiment.

Ivan.
