Disable or Reenable the Host Power-On Delay

Use the /SP/policy HOST_POWER_ON_DELAY property to cause the server to wait for a short time before powering on automatically. The delay is a random interval of one to five seconds. Delaying the server power-on helps minimize current surges on the main power source. This power-on delay is important when multiple servers in racks or multiple server modules in a modular system power on after a power outage.

For a server module, when HOST_AUTO_POWER_ON is enabled, you should also set HOST_POWER_ON_DELAY to enabled.

• At the Oracle ILOM prompt, type:

  -> set /SP/policy HOST_POWER_ON_DELAY=value
  

  where value can be:

  • enabled – Causes the server to wait for a short time before powering on automatically.

  • disabled – (Default) Server powers on automatically without a delay.
