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.

PowerMac won't boot after power failure during install

Hi, sorry if this has been asked. I searched, but I'm not quite sure how to phrase it.
I bought a used PowerMac from craigslist and went to install a newer version of OSX. I had a power failure in the middle of the install and now the computer won't boot up. How do I go back to a fresh re-install and get the computer to boot up?
Much appreciated!

Did you use a retail install DVD? If you used a gray disc from another model Mac, that could be a problem.
Because of the power failure, suggest you reset the PMU. How long was the power Off? You may need to replace the PRAM battery.

IMac won't boot after power failure?

My iMac wont boot or respond in any way after I experienced a brief power outage. Now it can't seem to switch on at all even after attempting the different resets I've read on other discussions. Please help with advice on any techniques to fix it otherwise steps I must take to get it repaired. Thanks.

IMac won't boot after power failure during 10.5.6 update

Help!
Tried to update last night and at something like 80% install, we had a power cut. iMac won't boot at all now - get to a grey screen which tells me to restart. Don't have a wired keyboard. If I did - what are the steps to get this working again.
I believe I have a good backup, but don't want to risk as all the family photos are on the iMac.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help, but can't even get to a screen where I could type anything! I know I'm being dumb here.

Imac wont boot after power failure.

I can boot in target mode and plug another mac in via firewire and run disk utility, but cannot boot the imac on its own. Anyone know what causes this? I have tried to boot holding down command-r, nothing, don't have install disks as they don't ship with them anymore.

Hello
Try boot in safe mode - Hold on at start-up SHIFT key , at least for one min , see if you ah safe mode start up
Try boot in single user mode - Hold on at start-up CMD-S , see if you have a comande line interface - type exit comande to try boot graphic interface
Try boot Apple Hardware Test - boot with D key
This 2 try need an valid Internet acces ( ethernet cable or wifi enable )
Try boot Recover mode - CMD - R
Try boot Apple Hardware Test - CMD - D

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!

Trouble booting up after power failure

After power failure(two hours), when booting up imac, just get a grey screen with blinking folder icon containing question mark.
I can hear clicking noise (hard drive?) that goes two or three clicks and then seems to give up.
How do I get it rebooted. Have disconnected and tried again with no result.

Sounds like the power failure may have fatally damaged the HD. Going forward use a UPS to protect your system, power surges can be very damaging to computers. You and try troubleshooting using Apple's Flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac but I think you may find the HD has failed. For confirmation you cal also run Apple Hardware Test in extended mode. Run AHT about 3x back to back and if it reports errors it's time to take the machine in for service.

Domain controller VMs using dynamic VHDx corrupt after power failure

Over the past couple of months I have experienced 4 dead 2008 R2 SP1 domain controllers after power failure on Hyper-V 2012 hosts. The domain controller VMs will start after power failure and have varying degrees of file system corruption. In each instance
the corruption has rendered the domain controller unusable. The problem has not occurred with every power failure, but in testing the failure rate has been over 10%.
The Hyper-v 2012 hosts are as follows:
Dell PowerEdge r720 with flash backed write cache on Raid controller
Dell PowerEdge T710 with battery backed write cache on Raid controller
Dell PowerEdge T310 with a single SATA hard drive and write cache disabled
Generic system with a single SATA hard drive and write cache disabled
The VM configuration experiencing corruption is as follows:
Each VM was created from a base 2008 R2 SP1 syspreped VHDx image template file (40 Gigs)
The image template was originally created as a VHD and was then converted to a VHDx
The VHDx file has 512k sectors instead of the native 512e of VHDx files (a result of VHD - VHDx conversion)
Each VM was assigned 1024 Meg RAM and 1 virtual processor
The domain controllers were created by promoting the base 2008 r2 install to a DC after base image deployment
Only one corrupt VM was not running the 2012 integration components. The rest were running current 2012 integration components
I have done extensive testing on this issue and the problem for me seems to revolve around the VHDx file format. I have managed numerous Hyper-v installations since the original 2008 server version was released and I have never seen corruption like this
until 2012 and VHDx.
For the past few days I have been testing fixed sized VHD VMs on a 2012 host and I have not been able to reproduce the data corruption issue. I seem to only be able to reproduce the problem when using dynamic VHDx files. I have not done any testing on 2012
hosts with fixed size VHDx files or dynamic VHD files.
It would be great to hear from anybody else experiencing similar issues so that we can compare notes and hopefully get to the bottom of this problem.

To be honest I was excited to see this fix released, but there are two problems.
1. The hotfix causes BSOD if you have VLANs with a teamed NIC configuration. I found this out the hard way on a production system. How in the world did this thing get through testing and into automatic updates?
2. The hotfix does not seem to resolve the issue in my test environment.
I opened up a case with support and they informed me that they would not provide support for this issue and that I had to open a case with premier support. Premier support informed me that I cannot open a case with them unless I sign a $50,000 per year service
contract. Is there anywhere to get support on this issue?

Lenovo IdeaCentre Q180 behavior after power failure

Hi,
I need a computer which reboots itself after an power failure.
I didn't find anything about the behavior of the IdeaCentre Q180 in such case.
Does the IdeaCentre Q180 reboots itself after power failure or is it possible to enable this feature?
This behavior is very important for my new system.
Thank you for your answer.
Kind Regards,
Theodoor
Solved!

Hi theodoor, welcome to the forums,
I'm not personally aquainted with the Q180, but I had a look in the BIOS simulator and I'm pretty sure the function you're looking for is available in BIOS.
Please see attached picture, (too big to post), it will open in the same window so please click your browser back button to return to this site.

RE1000 power light blinking after power failure

I've tried the 8 sec reset and the 30-30-30 reset but can't get the light to stop blinking and so can't connect to the unit. It was working fine before the power went out. Any suggestions?

I had the same issue after a power outage today. I online live chat with an agent for about 15 minutes until he provided me three options all about that I would have to pay extra to get it replaced or fixed because mine was just out of warranty yesterday. I was lucky enough because mine RE1000 was not dead completely. I followed the instructions in this community and restored its service successfully.
Here is what I did.
1. Reset the extender by 30-30-30 method. The LED still blinked after reset.
2. Turned off wifi on my laptop and assign a static IP on my laptop: 192.168.1.x. Ping RE's default gateway 192.168.1.1 with an Ethernet connection. It returned good result.
3. Log on Web Admin Page and I was prompted to upload its firmware. Followed the screen instruction to upload the firmware that I already downloaded previously. Waited until everything was finished and it rebooted. Volla. It was back to life.
I guess it might have lost the firmware somehow after power failure. Is there a battery inside the extender to power the flash rom?
Here are few instructions I followed up:

How to auto boot after shutting down bootcamp Windows?

I have an instructional lab of 30 20" imacs that are running dual-boot, 10.5 & XP SP3. They have bootpicker installed to simplify the selection of which OS to boot to and auto-select Windows at 60 sec. (This is for new computer users and English as a second language users that are not familiar with the dual-boot setups.)
In both OS's we run deepfreeze to protect the configurations from change. I have set the Energy Saver settings in the Mac OS to start or wake at 7am weekdays. Deepfreeze for Windows is set to shut off the Macs at 10PM. This is also set by Deepfreeze in the Mac OS but since they primarily run Windows in this classroom the Mac's are shut down from the Windows side.
After making the auto start setting and shutting them down from Windows once they will no longer auto start the next day or ever again after that. I have tried using pmset to remedy this and have tossed the plist for the settings numerous times. Same thing every time. One auto boot and then none after. I would use a script from ARD to wake them but they are not in the same subnet as my ARD setup and my network group will not configure our switching to allow for it.
Does anyone know how to make the Macs boot consistently, automatically, every day I wish them to boot after being shut down from Windows by Deepfreeze.

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.

Imac will not boot up after power failure

Does anyone know why i have to unplug the power cable from the back of my imac after every power failure at my home to get the imac to boot up. I've tried resetting the surge protecter and unplugging there. However, the only option is to unplug the cord from the back of the monitor/imac before it will boot up. Any ideas or is this a known bug.

You're effectively resetting the SMC.
If you're getting that many power outages you need to be using a UPS (Uninteruptible Power supply), not just a surge protecter.
Power interruptions at the wrong time can cause directory damage or even physical damage to the Hard Drive if the heads were reading or wriing at the time.
