System Administrationpoweron(1m)


NAME

 poweron - control power on

SYNOPSIS

 poweron [-q] [-y|-n] [location]
 poweron -h

DESCRIPTION

 

poweron(1M) powers on the specified dual 48V power supply, fan tray, or board. If no arguments are specified and you have platform administrator privileges, the entire system is powered on (provided that no additional 48V power supply modules need to be powered on to support the new power requirements).

Note – When you power off a bulk power supply poweroff trips the circuit breaker. In that case the poweron command alone can not restore power. You must manually flip the breaker back on, and then run poweron.

If you do not have platform administrator privileges, the location command operand must be specified and the board must be assigned to a domain for which you have domain administrator or configurator privileges. If sufficient power and cooling is not available for the requested board, the poweron operation fails. A minimum of five 48V power supply modules (4 KW modules) are required to power a fully configured system. Thus, with N+1 redundancy, six power supply modules are used. If powering on a component requires another component to be powered on, such as a board requiring a 48V power supply module, the poweron request fails.

If a specified component is in the automatic system recovery (ASR) blacklist file, an error message is displayed. If you have platform administrator privileges you are prompted to continue. If you do not, the operation is terminated and an error message is displayed.

OPTIONS

 

The following options are supported.

-h
Help. Displays usage descriptions. Note – Use alone. Any option specified in addition to -h is ignored.
-n
Automatically answers no to all prompts. Prompts are displayed unless used with the -q option.
-q
Quiet. Suppresses all messages to stdout including prompts.

When used alone -q defaults to the -n option for all prompts.

When used with either the -y or the -n option, -q suppresses all user prompts, and automatically answers with either 'y' or 'n' based on the option chosen.

-y
Automatically answers yes to all prompts. Prompts are displayed unless used with the -q option.

OPERANDS

 

The following operands are supported:

location
Component location separated by a space. Multiple location forms are not permitted.

The following location forms are accepted:

Sun Fire 15K, Sun Fire 12K

SB(0...17), SB(0...8)

IO(0...17), IO(0...8)

CS(0|1), CS(0|1)

FT(0...7), FT(0...7)

PS(0...5), PS(0...5)

EX(0...17), EX (0...8)

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

 

Group Privileges Required

 

You must have either platform administrator or domain administrator/configurator privileges to run this command.

If you have domain privileges, you must also specify the location operand and the location must be a domain configuration unit (DCU) that is assigned to a domain for which you have domain privileges.

You must have platform administrator privileges in order to power on a board listed in the ASR blacklist file.

Refer to Chapter 2, "SMS Security Options and Administrative Privileges" in the System Management Services (SMS) 1.4 Administrator Guide for more information.

EXAMPLES

 Example 1. Powering On the Dual 48V Power Supply
 

The power supply is located on the front side in the 0 bank position.

 
sc0:sms-user:> poweron PS0
Example 2. Powering On the Dual 48V Power Supply When Both AC Inputs are Bad
 

When the AC inputs are bad you will receive a warning.

 
sc0:sms-user:> poweron PS0
Both AC inputs to PS0 are bad, did you remember to turn on the breakers?
Example 3. Powering On a CPU in the ASR Blacklist File
 

You must have platform administrator privileges. Otherwise, poweron terminates and displays an error message.

 
sc0:sms-user:> poweron SB0
Component SB0 is in the ASR blacklist.
Are you sure you want to continue the power ON (yes/no)? Y

EXIT STATUS

 

The following exit values are returned:

0

>0
An error occurred.
