Back in February / March I asked about this for x950 systems; I got an answer then (it turned out I was already handling it, but just didn't realize that I was). However, with the upcoming EOL for those systems, I just wanted to update the thread/topic for the new R*10 systems.
These don't seem to have a setting in the BIOS Setup (I looked harder this time - the last time I failed to scroll down to see it) and the acpower option to syscfg is not recognized on an R710 that I have for testing. However, the ipmitool chassis power policy option *does* work on these systems (the default appears to be "previous"): # ipmitool chassis status | grep -i restore Power Restore Policy : always-on # ipmitool chassis policy chassis policy <state> list : return supported policies always-on : turn on when power is restored previous : return to previous state when power is restored always-off : stay off after power is restored # ipmitool chassis policy always-on Set chassis power restore policy to always-on # ipmitool chassis status | grep -i restore Power Restore Policy : always-on # ipmitool chassis policy previous Set chassis power restore policy to previous # ipmitool chassis status | grep -i restore Power Restore Policy : previous @alex Joe Kaiser wrote: > using the dell toolkit supplied toolkit > > syscfg --acpower=on > > On Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 10:53 AM, Alexander Dupuy <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > Currently, our Dell PowerEdge 1950 and 2950 systems' power restore > policy (what they do if the power was cut, and then turned back on) is > "always-off": > > # ipmitool -I open chassis status | grep -i restore > Power Restore Policy : always-off > > In theory, it should be possible to set this to "previous" or at least > "always-on": > > # ipmitool -I open chassis policy help > chassis policy <state> > list : return supported policies > always-on : turn on when power is restored > previous : return to previous state when power is restored > always-off : stay off after power is restored > > However, this command does not work at all: > > # ipmitool -I open chassis policy previous > Power Restore Policy command failed: Invalid command > # ipmitool -I open chassis policy always-on > Power Restore Policy command failed: Invalid command > # ipmitool -I open chassis policy list > Power Restore Policy command failed: Invalid command > -- mailto:[email protected] _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
