Setting Host Power at Boot

By default, when AC power is applied to the server, the server enters Standby power mode. However, it is possible to change this default power state by configuring a power-on policy in Oracle ILOM.

Set Host Power at Boot (Oracle ILOM)

1. Ensure that you have Admin (a) role privileges in Oracle ILOM.
2. To set a power-on policy in the Oracle ILOM web interface:
   1. Log in to the Oracle ILOM web interface.
   2. In the navigation pane, click System Management → Policy.
   3. In the Service Processor Policies table, select one of the following policies:

      • Auto power-on host on boot

      • Set host power to last power state on boot

      The power-on policies are mutually exclusive, that is, you can enable only one policy at a time. For more information about each policy, click the More Details link at the top of the page.

   4. In the Actions list, select Enable.
3. To set a power-on policy in the Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI):
   1. Log in to the Oracle ILOM CLI.
   2. Use one of the following commands:

      • set /SP/policy HOST_AUTO_POWER_ON=enabled

      • set /SP/policy HOST_LAST_POWER_STATE=enabled

      The power-on policies are mutually exclusive, that is, you can enable only one policy at a time.

   For details, refer to Power-On and Cooling-Down Policies Configurable from the Server SP, Oracle ILOM Administrator's Guide for Configuration and Maintenance, Firmware Release 5.0 at Systems Management Documentation.
