v
Timed power-on - refer to the shutdown -t command on servers using AIX.
Working in conjunction with AIX, the Service Processor in your server can operate a
timer, much like the wake-up timer on your clock radio. You can set the timer so that
your server powers on at a certain time after shutting down. The timer is
battery-operated, so power interruptions that occur while the server is off do not
affect its accuracy. Refer to the AIX shutdown -t command for details on setting the
timer.
Note: If an ac power loss (exceeding the hold-up time of any optional IBFs) is in
progress when the timed power-on attempt occurs, the server cannot power
on when ac power is restored.
v
Follow-up to a Failed Boot Attempt
The service processor initiates a power-on sequence if a failed boot attempt is
detected (due to a hardware or software failure).
v
Fast or Slow Boot (IPL)
Using the service processor menus, you can select the IPL type, mode, and speed of
your system.
Attention:
Selecting fast IPL results in several diagnostic tests being skipped and a
shorter memory test being run.
