Just a bit more clarification, though we've covered this at least twice
on this alias. Y'all know you can search the archives right? :)

Anyways...On with the show.
1) You can't disable the power button via any mechanism today, unless
you did something like apply 5 layers of electrical tape (I think I read
that was the magic number from someone who was curious).
2) Gui FW will let you control the auto power off feature (i.e. sleep),
but enforces a 10 minute minimum or a 30 day max.
3) If you want to totally disable autopower off/sleep (i.e. more than 30
days), you need to do that via the parms file and the setting is
poweroff=0 in the P9 parms file.

The idea's sound, but you need to use the latest core services patch
rather than 4.2, and of course the path to SUNWutfw will be slightly
different.
Thanks Craig!

Except GA 4.2 won't work since P9 firmware isn't in it. Needs to grab
the core services patch, unzip it and follow the same directions.

To clarify, I'm saying:
1. Today there is no capability in .parms or any other server-side
configuration to control power-off behavior, but
2. You can load 4.2 GUI firmware and run it with 4.0 SRSS on the server,
to get the pop-up GUI capability to control power-off.

I want to disable power off on sunray3.
My current config is Solaris 10 5/08 (x86) running SRSS 4.0 127554-05
I have added sunray3+ to network but don't have luxury of updating to
4.2 yet. From what I have researched, it appears I need 4.2 (140994-02
or higher) to load firmware_gui if I want to control from the DTU. I am
also assuming the reference in the release notes about the .parm file is
available only with 4.2.
With my current config, do I have any options?
(Here's is where I would vent about turning off power as a default)
No, at this time that capability is not available.
It is possible, however, to run 4.2 firmware with earlier server
software such as 4.0. Our firmware is designed to be backwards and
forwards compatible.
If you use older firmware you may not get all the server-side features
but if you use newer firmware you should be in good shape.
One way to do so would be to untar the SRSS 4.2 distribution somewhere
(let's say /tmp/srss) and then you could do:
utfwadm -A -a -N all -f
/tmp/srss/Sun_Ray_Core_Services_4.2/Solaris_10+/i386/Packages/SUNWutfw/reloc/SUNWut/lib/firmware_gui
Be sure to check the utfwadm flags and make sure they are appropriate
for your environment, this is just one example.
Don't be concerned about the platform (in this case Solaris_10+/i386)
since the firmware is platform-independent.
