Yee had a blade "power on" question:
****************
Hi all,
Suppose all my blades are shut down and idle (I have configured it to boot up automatically after the power outage) and I yank out the power cables to the C7000.
Will the blade servers boot up automatically after I put back the power cords back?
I’m not certain if yanking cables out when servers are already shutdown is considered a “power outage”, not too sure if this auto power-on will kick in in this case.
Best regards,
*******************
Dave had some advice and info:
*********************
There are two places to set the ‘power on’ feature for blades. The important power setting is within the iLO Web Administration page. If the ‘Automatically Power On Server:’ is set to ‘Yes’, then the servers will power on after power is applied.
If this is set to ‘No’, then the server will stay powered off, until manually powered on.
If the ‘Device Power Sequence’ is set to disabled then it will depend on the ilo Power settings of each server blade. When Disabled and iLO is Yes, the server will power on. If this is Enabled with a time delay, the server will wait for the ‘Delay’ # of seconds. Also the interconnects delay must be Enabled and configured with a time.
If you have this set:
The sever will not power on.

Good info from Dave. Does this help?
