Looks like we just had a power interruption to a rack full of various
Sun boxes. Everything has attempted to reboot itself except for 3
V240s, which meant I had to walk across the site in the rain to press
the button on the front. Good job they weren't 500 miles away.

Can anyone tell me if there's a way to get V240s to switch themselves
on automatically following a power glitch?

V240s have ALOM by default...
Just login and say poweron.

I think it depends on the keyed switch position on the front of the rack.
See V240 docs on those settings.

I saw a post for a V210 where it also depended on the LOM variable
"sc_powerstatememory. The V210 is similar to the V240 so maybe this applies
as well.

The earlier V210 thread title was "Silly v210 power question", the link is:

From the ALOM type :
setsc sc_powerstatememory true

You might also want to set sc_powerondelay, which controls if the server
starts immediately or waits a random time (a few seconds) so that not all
servers try and power on at exactly the same time.

Thanks very much for that v. useful piece of information. That's exactly
what I need to do, to resolve some dependencies on various services.

Thanks Scott and everyone who replied.
