Full Discussion: Auto Power On on V440 Solaris system
Operating Systems Solaris Auto Power On on V440 Solaris system Post 302961363 by hicksd8 on Friday 27th of November 2015 08:59:52 AM

It depends on what you mean.

The V440 has an ALOM which is an embedded (Linux type) appliance that controls the main hardware (including power). When you plug in the volts to the chassis the ALOM will boot but the main system will not (necessarily) unless it is configured to. You can communicate with the ALOM via (typically) the ser-mgt port using a terminal emulator. You are then talking to the ALOM only and the main power is still off.

At the ALOM prompt you can then issue a:

Code:
sc> poweron

command to turn on power to the main system. With planning you could be sat miles away doing that.

Does that help?
