Exadata startup after power outage

Hi,
Recently we had a power cycle on one of our Exadata machines resulting in a partly running server.
After checking with:
dcli -l root -g all_group 'ipmitool sunoem cli "show /SP/policy" | grep abled'it seems some components do an autoboot and some don't.
When I checked another Exadata it showed the configuration was for a total autoboot.
Do you have any view what would be preferrable a manual startup or an autoboot?
Or maybe assess this setting for each Exadata individually?
Regards,
Tycho

Hi andy.colvin,
Can you give some more information on what didn't start up?The 4 db nodes didn't boot up on this half rack Exadata but the 7 cells did.
Support pointed me to 1470536.1 about the issue.
It could be in firmware (Active image version: 11.2.3.1.0.120304) or ACS changed the standards for the policy in the ILOM.
I have a second half rack (Active image version: 11.2.2.4.2.111221) which is configured to do a full autoboot (eg HOST_LAST_POWER_STATE = enabled) after a power outage. For now I have changed the ILOM setting to enabled and I will wait for a final answer from support.
Regards,
Tycho

  • Hyper-V - virtual machines don't start automatically after power outage

    Hi,
    I have a HP server running Windows 2012 R2 + Hyper-V. On this server, four VM have Windows Server 2003 R2, and one VM has Windows 2012. After power outage, 1 2003 R2 VM and 1 2012 VM are started properly, but the other three machines aren't. I've started
    it manually. All VM's have last version of Hyper-V integration tools installed, the option "Automatically start VM if it was running before the service was stopped" was chosen. I'm not very familiar with Hyper-V, so, I've investigated only Hyper-V-VMMS
    event log. There are some recurring errors:
    The Integration Services Setup Disk image could not be updated: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (0x80070020).
    and
    Failed to get the disk information.
    But I think it isn't a clue.
    How can I clarify, why these machines aren't started automatically?

    Hi EugenBerend,
    Maybe it is related to system resources allocation during the start up .
    I would suggest you to configure a startup delay for those lower priority machines so that system
    can locate enough resource for them.
    Hope it helps

  • E4500 firmware corrupt after power outage

    Latest firmware with CCC corrupted after power outage. I reseet the e4500 several times and tried to reload the firmware and still no good. Only way I got it back up is to install the older non-CCC version 2.37. Strange all was fine until the power outage. Not sure if I should even bother to upgrade to 2.38 again.

    Yes, power outages may caused some damage either on the hardware or software of the any device especially if there's some activity going on inside the device the time of the interruption. If everything is fine with the old version then there's really no need to update it but if you've noticed some issues, better upgrade to the newer version so to fix any problems.

  • My AppleTV stopped working after power outage. Light is on and I rebooted and reset w remote but it keeps giving me a pic of the Hdmi cord like it is not recognizing the hdmi as being plugged in. I've unplugged it several times.

    It is in recovery mode. The picture is telling you to connect to iTunes via micro usb cable in order to restore.

  • Lion server : local user account disappear after power outage

    On the server computer.After power outage I restart server the machine starts up ok.At login screen local user name disappear but there's others account same as client computer.I can log in to network account but can't log in as local.
    In sytem preference local user account is still there.
    I don't want to reinstall lion server .
    What can i do now?
    Thank you for your assistance.

    It sounds like the user directory is damaged. You might try booting into the recovery partition, running Disk Utility, and doing a Repair Volume (and maybe a repair permissions) on the server volume.

  • Cannot login to my usual account after power outage

    Had two power outages last night; machine survived the first one, but after the second outage and restoration I cannot get in to my usual user account. What happens:
    Grey apple screen, normal
    Blue screen with progress bar indicating that OS X is loading... before the indicator fills all the way to the right, it exits to a blue screen [of death] with a mouse cursor (which works) and just stays there. It goes no further. Rebooting obviously does not fix it; I rebooted a dozen times trying to get beyond that.
    What I've tried that hasn't fixed it:
    Rebooting
    Unplugging and replugging, both computer side and wall
    Repairing both the disk and permissions--done, no effect
    Safe booting and attempting to log into the account under a safe boot--it loads the wallpaper and hangs right there, no dock, no menu loaded
    Removing the User/~ Preferences folder
    I believe that what is causing the problem is some login startup item. However, since I cannot even log in in Safe mode, I can't start the System Preferences Accounts panel to remove login items.
    Question: Is there another way to remove the login startup items? Removing the Preferences folder has not helped. I'm missing something. What is it?
    I can log in to any other user account. I am currently in Root.

    From the root account, open the Accounts pane of System Preferences and delete the login items for your normal account; an admin account should be able to do this for any account on the system, while non-admin accounts can only be used to change their own login items.
    If removing the login items does not fix the issue, remove other parts of the home folder until you are able to log in to that account. If you've removed/renamed the entire home folder and aren't able to log in successfully, check that the permissions on the hard disk allow all accounts to read it; if you still can't successfully log in to that account, restore a previous version of the NetInfo database.

  • VPN auto startup after power cut

    Good evening
    I have set my server to auto start after a power outage. What I would like is have the vpn startup. So the server is auto logging in as a certain user, and then the user has a auto startup item. The server Admin.
    The issue is that the server admin needs to you to bring the window to the foreground in order for the vpn to startup.
    Is there another way to do this?

    Does it power back on after a power outage? auto-boot only covers the boot after the server powers on or is reset. I don't see an option in OpenBoot for auto power on after a power interruption.

  • MacMini PPC not starting after power outage

    MacMini PPC running Leopard - plugged into a UPS & power strip with a surge protector - it was running last night when the power went out in our area - this morning it won't boot up - get the chime the Apple logo & the spinning clock - can hear the usual startup sounds but a few seconds later it shuts down - inserted the install disk & held the option key - it showed the internal harddrive (with a blue X), the external harddrive with the SuperDuper backup (with a blue X), the install CD (with a blue X) & the Apple Hardware Test, although the mouse works the pointer remains a clock & after a few seconds it shuts down - any ideas or suggestions ? - the Mini acts as our wifi source so am off line except for the iPhone

    I take it that the power outage was long enough to deplete the UPS and that the Mini therefore had its power pulled abruptly when the UPS ran out of juice?
    Since you have a PPC Mini, you can try a PMU reset. (This is only PPC Minis; don't use it if you have an Intel Mini. Intels get the SMC reset.)

  • XServe Raid lost Array #2 after power outage

    Hi..
    I've had an unfortunate incident with my XServe RAID.. it lost power, and when restarted array 1 came up, but #2 is showing the drives' status as all "spare" and no configured array.
    Our first thought was to use the "recognize array" utility in Raid Admin, but (after upgrading to the latest firmware) when choosing either controller the recognize button is greyed out, as if it doesn't want to. If i'm reading the support docs correctly, the drives might actually need to be showing as "available" rather than "spare" - but I'm understanably hesitant to just issue the make drive available command in case that hoses the data that (we hope) is still on the drives.
    other details are that array 1 is connected to an Xserve and array 2 (should be) talking to a win2k3 box, via their respective FC interfaces. the power outage was uncontrolled and affected all machines (UPS failure) and startup was also unattended which is worrying me that the 2k3 box might have done something to array 2 on the way back up.
    naturally i'm googling this one like crazy but haven't yet found any relevant info. hoping a suggestion or two here might set me in the right direction?
    not a nice way to spend a weekend - but at least i have until monday morning to sort it..
    thanks in advance..

    Thanks for the feedback - unfortunately we'd already tried the complete power-down solution and no go. One thing i found out in the process was that we don't have the battery backup units installed, I think that might be a wise investment for next time.
    We found a number of similar posts on the subject.. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1471056&tstart=165 and http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5949583&#5949583 and in the end just went with recreating the array and restoring from backup - it seems like the only option in this case... so i'll mark this thread closed.

  • Unable to load OS bound to a domain after power-outage

    I currently manage 200 2013 iMac but since installing Yosemite I've noticed that after the macs are joined to the domain and a network user is using the machine and a power outage occurs ALL iMac running Yosemite will not boot up. The boot process reaches about 30 percent and stays on the grey apple logo screen. After extensive troubleshooting we found that this only occurs when a user is logged in when the power outage occurs. However if the power outage occurs and the units are not being used by a network user the computer boots up fine. We completed a fresh install created a local user without adding it to the domain. We then logged in with the local user mimic'd a power-outage and the computer booted up fine. I have done extensive troubleshooting noticed that the issue does not occur with local users only users authenticated on a domain.
    Note: We also noticed that if we deleted network users from the user folder and then performed the power outage and the unit loads the OS fine.
    Any help with this is greatly appreciated...

    Insert the Mac OS X 10.4 installation disk into the drive, and then restart the computer with the Option key held down. If you are able to successfully start up from the drive, install Mac OS X 10.4.

  • 865PE Neo2-PFISR problems after power outage

    I need some help with a problem.  A recent power outage while my supposedly "surge protected" 865PE Neo2 based machine was running, apparently messed something up.  After our power came back on, I powered it back up and discovered that I now have 4 ongoing problems.  Problem 1) it now hangs twice during the boot process, once at "auto detect 3rd master - press escape to abort", which if I then press ESC, it then moves to "auto detect 3rd slave - press escape to abort" and hangs there until I press ESC, at which time it then finishes booting like normal.  (by the way, I don't even have any 3rd master or 3rd slave installed)  Problem 2) I can no longer enter the Bios setup, even though I press the DEL key at the appropriate time.  Problem 3) The case light for hard drive activity stays on constantly, even though the drive seems to be working normally without any other problems.  Problem 4) A few issues here.  My sata dvd/cd combo drive is no longer recognized as being installed; the activity light on the drive is constantly on even though the drive is not running; the drive bay will no longer open.
    I'm guessing that something has possibly been damaged on the motherboard or maybe the bios was affected somehow, or maybe the power supply was somehow damaged.  Either way, I'm not sure what to do now.  With the exception of the problems I listed, my system otherwise works normally as it always has, with the only real downside being that I don't currently have a dvd/cd drive.  I haven't tried any troubleshooting myself because I'm not sure where to look or what to look for.  The specs for my system are listed in my signature, with the only change being that I'm still running the original Antec 350w power supply that came with the case.  I could sure use some expert advice and help with this.

    Problem Update.
    Well, I finally got my machine up and running "almost" as good as it was before my power surge problems.  Thank you to everyone that responded with advice.  I ended up replacing the Antec 330w TruePower psu with the new Enermax Noisetaker 420w (EG425P-VE SFMA V2.0) that I had, and I had to replace the MSI sata combo drive (went with a Pioneer 710 DVD-RW, which is an excellent unit) and now things are back to normal.  Plus, I bought an APC 650VA/390watt battery backup with soft shutdown to help prevent any power outage problems again.
    When I said "almost" as good as new, that is because this morning when I booted up, all I got was a black screen (no post) for a couple of minutes, and then a message appeared that approximately said "the dram timings are too tight, reload timings", or something like that.  Well, since the timings have never been changed, I'm not sure what is going on, but after turning it off and then re-powering it up again, it booted (though slowly at first) and I've just been letting it run all day.  Ha, just when I was ready to venture into OCing this rig.  Think I will anyway.  If the problem continues, I'll be back seeking helpful advice again.

  • Can not start web server after power outage

    Hi All,
    I have a Cisco NSS322 running firmware v1.0.0. I have Web server with MySQL, file sharing on the box. after a power outage this morning, I could not access the web server anymore. I can access filesharing and web GUI management interface (port 8080). I login to the box via ssh, and do netstat -na, and found that the box does not listen on port 80.
    From Web GUI, I tick/untick the "Enable Web Server" number of time but can not turn on the services. The logs say re-lauch apache sucessfully.
    Could someone help please?
    thanks
    Tao Lao

    Also you're running on the engineering build of firmware. You might need to upgrade to latest versions.

  • External hard drive not recognized after power outage

    After a power outage last night my WD external hard drive is not showing up. The power light is on on the drive, the DVR is working normally, except my external drive is not showing up.  I unplugged power from the DVR and restarted it, but no change.

    I have a 2G Samsung drive in Rosewell external encloser running for over a year.  Two times have lost power and DVR would not recongize external drive.  The procedure I used was to reboot twice via menu>settings>customer support>in home agent>reboot STB.   Mine required two resets, the first reboot looks like DVR recongizes drive but does show as available but second reboot shows disc activity during last part boot up of box then external would show with all recordings and normal operation.   I have not lost any recordings.

  • Photoshop fails to run or re-install after power outage

    I experienced a power outage while performing an update to Photoshop via Creative Cloud on my iMac.  Since then I have been unable to use or re-install the app.  Initially when trying to re-install, Adobe Application Manager would run through most of the install process and then error out towards the end, stating that the download was corrupt.  This happened twice, and now after several reboots I no longer have the option to un-install on the Adobe sub-menu.  Other Adobe apps seem to function without issue.

    Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, download AAM from here:
