Power-On and Cooling-Down Policies Configurable From the Server SP
System administrators can optionally set system management policies from the server SP to control power-on and power-off policies on boot, as well as cooling policies for system components.
All system management policies are, by default, disabled from the Oracle ILOM SP. For property descriptions of the system management policies that are configurable from the server SP, see the following table.
Note:
The policies described in this section are server-specific, therefore, they can vary from system to system. Consult the documentation provided with your server for additional policy details.Table 10-1 Configurable Server SP Power-On and Cooling-Down Policies

System Management Policy | Description |
Auto-Power-On Host on Boot
( |
Disabled (default) |Enabled
Enable this policy to automatically power on the host server operating system at boot. Note. Enabling this policy automatically disables the policy for “Set host power to last power state policy” if enabled. Note. The CLI Syntax for Auto-Power-On-Host on Boot: set /SP/policy HOST_AUTO_POWER_ON=enabled|disabled |
Set Host to Last Power State on Boot
|
Disabled (default) |Enabled
Enable this policy to set the host server power state to the last known state at boot. Note.Enabling this policy automatically disables the policy for “Auto power-on host policy” if enabled. Note: The CLI Syntax for Set Host to Last Power State on Boot: set /SP/policy HOST_LAST_POWER_STATE=enabled|disabled |
Set to Delay Host Power On
(SPARC server only) ( |
Disabled (default) |Enabled
Enable this policy on an Oracle SPARC server to delay the host operating system from powering on at boot. CLI Syntax for Set to Delay Power On: set /SP/policy HOST_POWER_ON_DELAY=enabled|disabled |
Set Low Line AC Override Mode Policy (x86 server only) ( |
Disabled (default) |Enabled
The Low Line AC Override policy determines whether a 4-CPU system can use low-line (110 volt) power for special testing scenarios. The power capacity for each power supply unit (PSU) is roughly 1000 watts at low line. Since the power of a 4-CPU system can exceed 1000 watts by a large amount, enabling this setting results in a loss of PSU redundancy. Note: TheLOW_LINE_AC_OVERRIDE_MODE property is not configurable on
all x86 servers. CLI Syntax for Set Low Line AC Override Mode Policy:
set /SP/policy LOW_LINE_AC_OVERRIDE_MODE=enabled|disabled |
Set Parallel Boot (Supported on most
SPARC T series servers and SPARC 7-2 series servers)
( |
Enabled (default) |Disabled
The Note: The CLI Syntax for Parallel Boot: set /SP/policy Parallel_Boot=enabled|disabled |
Redirect VGA Output
( |
Disabled (default) |Enabled
Note: The Enable to redirect vga output to the rear port of the server. CLI Syntax for VGA OUTPUT: set /SP/policy VGA_REAR_PORT=enabled|disabled |
Set Enhanced PCIe Cooling Mode (x86
server only)
( |
Disabled (default) |Enabled
Set to allow the host to poweron independently of ILOM Enable this policy on an Oracle x86 server PCEI card systems to satisfy cooler operating temperature requirements. The PCIe cool-down policy mode, when enabled, directs Oracle ILOM to lower the chassis output temperature sensor thresholds to keep the PCIe cards operating within the required temperature range. Note: The CLI Syntax for Set Enhanced PCIe Cooling Mode: set /SP/policy ENHANCED_PCIE_COOLING_MODE=enabled|disabled |
Enable a Cooldown Period Before Host Shuts Down (SPARC server only) ( |
Disabled
(default) |Enabled
Enable this property on SPARC servers to enter a cool down mode upon powering off the host server. The cool down mode directs Oracle ILOM to monitor certain components to ensure that they are below a minimum temperature as to not cause harm to the user. Once the server sub-components are below the minimum temperature, the power is removed from the server, or the host will turn off if the process takes longer then 4 minutes to complete. CLI Syntax to Enable Cool Down Period Before Host Shuts Down: set /SP/policy HOST_COOLDOWN=enabled|disabled |
