To Power On and Boot a Managed Server or a Group

Steps

1. Log in to the N1 System Manager.

2. Use the start server or start group commands.

   N1-ok> start server server

   The server is powered on and, if boot PROMs are configured, the server boots. See start server in Sun N1 System Manager 1.3 Command Line Reference Manual for syntax details.

   N1-ok> start group group

   The group is powered on and, if boot PROMs are configured, the manageable servers in the group boot. Job completion takes longer for large groups. See start group in Sun N1 System Manager 1.3 Command Line Reference Manual for syntax details.

   Note –

   RSC servers can take several minutes to start. The job status for the RSC server can indicate that the server has already started or rebooted before the startup or reboot process has actually completed with the server's OS running. Any subsequent jobs started on the RSC server before the startup or reboot process has completed and before the server's OS is running will fail.

   For details about setting up RSC servers, see Preparing RSC-based Manageable Servers in Sun N1 System Manager 1.3 Site Preparation Guide. See also Discovery of RSC Servers in Sun N1 System Manager 1.3 Troubleshooting Guide.
