How to configure V240 auto-boot after power failure?
Hi!
How to configure automatic boot of V240 machine after power failure? After power gets resored, V240 remains in standby mode and one has to press button on front to power it up. It is not convinient because power failure can occur, for example, at night and the machine is not booted until the first user awakens :)

Spectrum document.
InfoDoc 74713
"Sun Fire[TM] V210/240/440 servers: How to set up systems to power up automatically?"
Spectrum document == you need a service contract to access its information, else you can open a Time-and-Materials support case with Sun and pay on a per incident basis.

Well, if I have had Sun support for this machine, I would prefer to ask a support engineer but not to post such a question to this forum :)Still need a solution...

Does your forum login permit you to log into Sunsolve ?
If that happens to be successful, then you can get to the document.
Sun reserves the right to keep some of its intellectual property,
and that includes some of its knowledge base,
available only to those who have invested in support contracts.
That document happens to be one of them.
Thus I can't copy and paste its contents to a public forum.

Uhh... I've found publicly accessible document http://docs.sun.com/source/817-5481-11/variables.html :
Looks like this variable controls auto-power-up behaviour:
sc_powerstatememory
...
The sc_powerstatememory variable enables you to specify the state of the host server as false (keep the host server off) or true (return the server to the state it was in when the power was removed). This is useful in the event of a power failure, or if you physically move the server to a different location.
For example, if the host server is running when power is lost and the sc_powerstatememory variable is set to false, the host server remains off when power is restored. If the sc_powerstatememory variable is set to true, the host server restarts when the power is restored.
The values for this variable are as follows.
true - "Remembers" the state of the host server when power was removed and returns the server to that state when power is reapplied.
false - Keeps the server off when power is applied.

I've googled a little bit and found that I was right about this parameter :) However, my V240 came with PDF documentation for ALOM v. 1.0 which does not have such parameter. Actually the machine has ALOM v. 1.4. I'll recheck packaging contents tomorrow...

Hello,this is the link to the download page for latest ALOM 1.5 http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=415453f9The download requires a Sun Online Account (free, no service contract required). Michael
