Automatic boot on power on...

Hi all,
When I power switch on my My netra T1, it stays at hte ok prompt instead of automatic booting...
Can someone give me the way to modify this in order that my server boot alone when switched on..
thank you.

At the ok prompt type;
ok> setenv auto-boot? true
in Solaris type;
#eeprom auto-boot?=true
This will work for your problem but will not automatically boot if the eeprom value for watchdog-reset is set to false, but this is a good idea as you want to know when the system has a problem.

How to configure V240 auto-boot after power failure?

Hi!
How to configure automatic boot of V240 machine after power failure? After power gets resored, V240 remains in standby mode and one has to press button on front to power it up. It is not convinient because power failure can occur, for example, at night and the machine is not booted until the first user awakens :)

Uhh... I've found publicly accessible document http://docs.sun.com/source/817-5481-11/variables.html :
Looks like this variable controls auto-power-up behaviour:
sc_powerstatememory
The sc_powerstatememory variable enables you to specify the state of the host server as false (keep the host server off) or true (return the server to the state it was in when the power was removed). This is useful in the event of a power failure, or if you physically move the server to a different location.
For example, if the host server is running when power is lost and the sc_powerstatememory variable is set to false, the host server remains off when power is restored. If the sc_powerstatememory variable is set to true, the host server restarts when the power is restored.
The values for this variable are as follows.
true - "Remembers" the state of the host server when power was removed and returns the server to that state when power is reapplied.
false - Keeps the server off when power is applied.

How to get Mavericks server that is connected to a UPS to restart automatically after a power outage.

This is driving me crazy. Is there anyone running Mavericks as a mission critical server on Backup Power Supplies that has a way to get the servers to restart automatically after a power outage. The UPS vendors all have software for Windows, but not Macs, and the setting in System Preferences, doesn't work with the UPS's Iv'e tried (2 different APC models (Smart and Back-UPs), one Triplite (Smart) and one CyberPower, (all claiming to be Mac compatible))

APC do apparently still do a command-line daemon (PowerChute Network Shutdown) which monitors over the network the UPS and will cleanly shutdown the Mac. For lower-end UPS devices these are typically connected via a USB cable and the built-in Apple System Preferences let you control the options - if it is a model supported. There is however a big limitation of using a USB connection which is that you can only connect a single computer to a UPS via USB and of course most companies have multiple servers.
It maybe that what is happening even if you use APC's software is the following -
Power failure detected by UPS
Signal sent to Mac
Computer does a clean shutdown
Power restored
UPS has no way to tell Mac because it is shutdown and Mac does not support 'Wake on LAN' if fully shutdown
The Mac does have an option to 'Startup automatically after a power failure'. However this might only take place if the Mac is not cleanly shutdown, it could be that if the Mac is cleanly shutdown it does not count this as a power failure. If this is correct then there is nothing that can be done as users to resolve this, the only way it could be resolved would be if Apple provided a way for a tool like APCs software to both do a clean shutdown and set a flag as this being due to a power failure so that when the Mac does detect the power being restored it triggers the Mac in to booting.
In the dim and distant past when Macs used ADB to connect keyboards and mice the ADB interface did support an external power-on signal. This does not exist for USB.
Personally I have regarded the APC software (PowerChute Network Shutdown 3.0.1) to be so badly supported and so old as to be too risky to use. It lists 10.7 and 10.8 but not 10.9 and uses Java 1.6 which itself is unsupported. There is a third-party tool you might want to look at called NUT (Network Ups Tools) see http://www.networkupstools.org
NUT is free and lets you do clever things like -
Connect a single computer via serial or USB to the UPS
Act as a 'server' over the network to other computers sharing the UPS
When power failure is detected the NUT 'server' sends a signal to the NUT 'clients' so all of them know that there is a power failure and can do their own clean shutdowns
This gets round only being able to connect a single computer via USB.

MacBook Pro (late 2008) automatic boot, does not get into sleep mode

Good evening from Germany,
I have a problem with my MBP (5,1). Since last tuesday the MBP boots automatically after it had been shut down if the power chord is still attached to the MBP. As well when closing the lid it goes into sleep mode but after a couple of minutes it tries to wake itself resulting in lighting up the Apple logo on the back of the lid. After that it goes into sleep mode again and starts all over with the procedure ...-wake up-lid still closed-sleep-wake up-...
I did not install or update any software since that day, the power management options "wake on LAN", and "restart after powerloss" are decativated. I do not have any scheduled boot or shut down times set. I removed all login-items, had a look for the "com.apple.AutoWake.plist" and deleted it. I do not have or had any eyeTV application installed. I have no clue what could have caused this behaviour.
In case it helps, this is an excerpt from the system.log
Feb 28 18:12:01 mooxmacbook mDNSResponder[18]: mDNS_FinalExit failed to deregister service: 100831D28 mooxmacbook.rfb.tcp.se\.pieper.members.mac.com.

That's what I was guessing as well. But unfortunately there is no other device connected to the MBP.
Here's a list of what I've tried so far:
- login-items deleted
- PRAM & SMC reset
- no boot schedules
- System Preferences Energy "Wake on Ethernet activity" deactivated
- System Preferences Energy "Automatic reboot after power-loss " deactivated
- eyeTV not installed (was never installed before)
- "com.apple.AutoWake.plist" in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ deleted
- mobileMe sync deactivated
- ComboUpdate installed
- booted in Safe Mode and tested
- setup new user and tested if the problem persists (in Safe Mode too)
- fresh install using a Time Machine backup
Well thanks for the that but let's keep writing in English I guess that's easier for both of us.

Automatic boot on 64 bits

some one have a ideia how i can do my os 10.6.1 automatic boot on 64 bits?

How did you measure your performance increase?
I don't have a 64-bit bench marking app & using a 32-bit app wouldn't prove a thing so, just like in the old days, I used a stopwatch.
I use 3 tests in both 32 & 64 bit modes. I repeated each step 3 times to get an average. I setup SL to log on automatically to the desktop for test #1. I used Activity Monitor to display the CPU cores during tests 2 & 3.
Test #1) Powered off & timed it from pushing the power until I saw the desktop. The difference between them was about 25%. Not bad.
Test #2) I copied the SL install DVD to a temp folder on my HD. The difference between them was only about 15%. Not Good. (the DVD interface IO is a hardware PIG & seriously needs a speed improvement so I pitched the DVD % out of the averaged score).
Test #3) I copied the SL install DVD in a temp folder on one internal HD to another HD. The difference between them was about 25%. Not bad.
So what really is difference here? The answer became obvious to me as I watched the CPU's 8 Cores at work. In 32-bit mode only 4 cores (2 per CPU) were used but in 64-bit mode all 8 cores were used. I also noticed that a core service called 'cvmsCompx8664' was being used by the System & the User as the translator for the 32-bit kernel but I didn't see in the 64-bit kernel mode.
What 64-bit programs are you using?
Just the Apple stuff that came with Snow Leopard because I do not trust 3rd party computer apps but that's a different story.

I have not configured any of the Intel Management and Security, Small Business Advantage, Smart Connect software, just installed them.
The issues I get are:
1. JUSB1 connected and Resume From S3/S4/S5 by USB Device: Enabled in BIOS. When I shutdown the PC, it automatically boots 2-3 seconds later. If I set Resume From S3/S4/S5 by USB Device: Disabled or disconnect the JUSB1, the PC shutdown is fine.
2. Once the PC is shutdown OK, PC boots itself several hours later. Yesterday at 15:50pm PC was shutdown. At 21:18pm, PC automatically booted itself.
This is my first MSI and UEFI motherboard. What I would like is some advice on setting up the BIOS and the software to get sleep/hibernate working and no automatic boots.
I have contacted MSI regarding these issues, but they say they cannot reproduce them. I have subsequently googled these issues and of course, other MSI users are experiencing similar problems, but there are no obvious resolutions. Please can anyone help/advise?

Hi,
I have the MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming mobo and perhaps similar problem as discussed in this thread.
I wanted to be able to wake my PC from sleep mode via my USB connected mouse and keyboard. Therefore I went into BIOS and set the "Resume from S3/S4/S5 by USB Device" to "Enabled". And yes, now it is possible to wake my PC from sleep mode by just clicking any button on my keyboard or just moving my mouse a little bit. So far so good. BUT, another feature was also added which I did not want to have: By just clicking any button on my keyboard or moving my mouse a little bit the PC also started after I have "shut it down"! This could seem as the PC boot by itself but it does not, I have to move the mouse just a little bit (by accident for example when needing more space on my desk) or clicking a button on the keyboard. I THINK THE ROOT CAUSE TO THIS PROBLEM IS AS FOLLOWS: In BIOS, it says "Resume from S3/S4/S5 by USB Device". Instead it should only be "Resume from S3 by USB Device". S3 is the same as "Sleep" and S5 is the same as "Soft off" = PC shutdown. Do you understand what I mean? When I shut down my PC it is put into state “S5”. (NOTE: I have another PC with MSI Z77-GD65 and here it only says "Resume from S3 by USB Device" and no problem with any starting of that PC via USB device from a shutdown state, it only starts from the sleep state (=”S3”) as I want. How do I get rid of the "S5" state in BIOS for this USB wake up feature? (Btw "S4" is hibernate state which is not the same as a shutdown PC, therefore not causing this problem.)
ADDED No. 1: Please read msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa373229(v=vs.85).aspx for explanation of the different system Power states I mention above.
ADDED No. 2: My Click BIOS version is 1.8 for Z87-GD65 with release date 2013-12-06. On a Youtube video I have seen that version 1.0 of this BIOS has Wake up "Resume from S3 by USB Device" and not ...S3/S4/S5...

Need Mac to automatically boot as first partition (HELP)

hi guys, i have windows and mac on a different partition and i use Alt button to select,
How do i automatically make MAC my first partition to boot
any advice would be great!!
I should probs state that i am running on a Imac27" running on the I3 processor and have the latest MAC OS 10.6 or something like that (bought this mac about christmas so not too old!)
jon

Hi,
boot your Mac into OSX.
In OSX go to System Preferences then Startup Volume and set your OSX volume to be the default.
On the next reboot your Mac should automatically boot into OSX.
To get to Windows again you would have to use the Alt/Option-key at startup.
Regards

Have a coffee..Yes mate but at times, due to other people's mistakes, your entire effort gets wasted. Even being in a very bad health, I managed to finish my two training sessions with a very good rating. But today, on the last day, all of a sudden, some one complained that the access to the machines was slow( it was a remote access) and guess who is facing the heat, me!! That too when I have nothing to do "officially" with all these issues!

Mac won't boot after power chord became unplugged accidently.

Mac won't boot after power chord became unplugged accidently.
I have a Mac Mini running very latest version of OSX. I was making a recording with QuickTime; when I needed to plug in a USB recording device into the back of the Mac Mini, as I pulled the Mac off my shelf to do this, the power cable came out and the Mac lost power.
I plugged it back in and powered up the Mac. I get the grey screen with Apple logo and the spinning grey wheel; then it goes to a blue screen (as usual) and I get the "starting OSX..." progress bar. When the progress bar finishes, I'm left with a blue screen only, no dock, no apple icon at top left, nothing across the top, no nothing.
So far, I've booted from the original disc and repaired the permissions as well as the disc, then re-booted, but same old blue screen.
I have another iMac G5 machine, so is there any way I can at least retrieve the important HD files from the Mac Mini to my G5, before throwing the broken Mac Mini away?
Can anyone advise please?

Hi, Nigel.
Not to differ with my colleagues here, but there's an important question that wasn't asked.
1. You wrote: "So far, I've booted from the original disc and repaired the permissions as well as the disc, then re-booted, but same old blue screen."Did Disk Utility report any errors it could not fix when you ran Repair Disk? I suggest you run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
2. You may also want to run the Apple Hardware Test that came with your Mini to be sure nothing shorted when the power cable was removed from the computer. I've seen it happen, hence I usually recommend removing the power cable at the wall before disconnecting the power cable from the computer. See my "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ.
3. Repair Disk gives your Mini a clean bill of health, the blue screen may be the result of some Startup or Login item that was corrupted due to the sudden power outage. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem and may help you avoid and Archive and Install.
4. If you elect to go the Archive and Install route, see my "General advice on performing an Archive and Install" FAQ for some important tips on this process.
5. As FYI, this is the kind of problem that makes one glad they've implemented a comprehensive backup and recovery solution. For advice on the backup and recovery solution I employ, see my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ. Computing without a comprehensive backup and recovery solution is like driving without auto insurance.
Good luck!

IdeaPad A1000L-F automatically boots to Android Recovery e3

I am currenlty working on a device, and I am stumped.
The device starts up, displays the Lenovo logo, then automatically boots to the recovery mode <e3>. I am unable to load a rom because when I tell it to load or update via SDCard, it utilizes the memory on the internal memory and not the external SD card.
I select reboot, and it locks up. I tried wiping data and rebooting. No success. I tried using the reset button beside the memory card. No success. I am unable to load the operating system, and unable to get root or even flash another image to the device.
Someone, please help....

My time Capsule is now 3 months in operation and now every day shutdown automatically and the power is completely off and my network is down. Any idea what is happening?

My time Capsule is now 3 months in operation and now every day shutdown automatically and the power is completely off and my network is down. Any idea what is happening?

The Time Capsule has a defective power supply and it needs to be exchanged as soon as possible. Soon, you will not be able to power it back up at all after it shuts down.
Take the Time Capsule to an Apple Store, if you have one near you, or contact Apple Support to get the process started.

When i start my MacBook Pro, the Microsoft applications Automatically boot up, how do I prevent this?

When I start my Mac, all of the microsoft applications for Mac Automatically boot, this has just occured over the past few days but I would like to deactivate the Automatic Start for Word, Excel and PPT.
Thank You

If you use a virtualizer like Parallels Desktop or VMware or Virtualbox: goto system Preferences/ Account/ LoginItems and delete (- sign) the Virtualizer.
If you use Bootcamp: log into Windows, there disable autostartup with system start, there used to be a simple tool called startup.cpi which pops up in ControlPanel and that handles these things.

875P NEO FIS2R problems with booting at power-up

Having problems with booting at power-up.
Recently, with no apparent modification to system - at power up the system will often not boot. About 80% of time systems seems to go into a loop with CD/DVD drive light blinking a few times, then the floppy drive light comes on and can hear the FDD run – within 30 seconds or so, this process starts over again. Power switch LED is on and HDD LED is on (continuously). All fans are running (power supply fan, case fan, CPU fan and Intel Canterwood 875 fan ).
Monitor power on light is in power save mode (amber) when system does not boot. When boot is successful the monitor power light turns green immediately.
After pressing the reset button several times (varies between pressing reset button 1 time to 30 or more times) system will then boot OK or go into set up.
Once running there is no apparent problem.
This mainboard comes with D Bracket containing 2 USB 2.0 ports, and 4 diagnostics LEDs - when boot problem occurs the diagnostic LEDs, give a code that in the MSI mainboard manual states “Initializing Keyboard Controller” and diagnostic LEDs stays in this mode until via reset button provides a successful boot and start up.
Have reseated all connectors.
SYSTEM
Mainboard – MSI 875P Neo FIS2R (MSI 6758)
BIOS – AMI v1.8 (has not been updated)

VLC keeps automatically starting gnome-power-manager, why?

Ive been running fluxbox as my main WM for a long time now. Recently I installed VLC, and every time I watch a movie it automatically starts gnome-power-manager. I have double checked my .fluxbox/startup and my xinitrc and even my rc.conf but there is no mention of gnome-power-manager or gnome-settings-dameon or anything gnome anywhere. It seems to only happen with VLC. Why does this keep happening?
I don't want to use gnome-power-manager in fluxbox, but I have another user that uses gnome as the default wm so I don't want to remove gnome either. How can I stop this behavior?

The only thing I can think of is the screen saver option in vlc.
Go to Tools / Preferences and click the All radio button select Video and see if Disable screensaver is selected. If not disable it and see if it fixes the problem.

Any help appreciated cuz this is an emergency build.
Thanks guys.

Okay, try this:
- connect all case wiring for front-panel stuff to the mainboard or short the two pins for Power-On on the mainboard's pin header with a screwdriver.
If that does not work:
- take the board out of the case to test it on a non-conducting surface in barebone configuration (CPU, video card, all power connectors, one stick of RAM) and repeat the step above
If that does not change anything:
- test with different PSU
Case closed, i put the motherboard outside the case and worked like a charm, seems like a bad conduct between the motherboard and the case, thanks for all the answers guys, it was the only thing i didnt examined and thankfully it was it and not some DOA board. Thanks again.
