Hi, If you're powering off some of the high end server platforms, init 5 will make you go to the data centre and flip all the DC switches before you can turn the platform back on ;)
init 5's ok as long as you can do poweron over [A]LOM/RSC, save your self the trip to the data centre. Could also do init 0 and poweroff if i recall correctly. It's not often we gotta power off a server... On 11/10/07, paul hendley <Paul.Hendley at sun.com> wrote: > We've been having to power our machines down in Bur02 for some weekend > facilities work.
