Re: Sunfire V100 Server Power Cycle/Reboot Question

Hello,

I've been around Sun servers enough to know nuances, but not enough to
call myself an expert by any means. I have a three identical old
Sunfire servers that have been serving me very well over the years.
However, I have a question I cannot seem to figure out...

Whenever there is a power failure or power cycle, one of the servers
boots up with no problems and is back and up. The other two, however,
need me to go into the LOM and "fix" them before they get back up. I
did not initially setup any of these servers, and I'm wondering why
one is cooperating and the other two are not? Is this a setting I need
to change on the other two servers?

I never plan for a power failure, nor do I expect many (if any at
all), but it'd be nice to know that I don't have to go through the
hassle of bothering the people that host my servers to get me in the
rack when I need to "fix" them to get them back up again.

Thanks for any help in advance!
Nino

as root try setting auto boot to true.

# eeprom auto-boot?=true

This can also be set from OBP using setenv
