sc_powerstatememory

ALOM runs as soon as power is applied to the host server, even if the server is powered off. When you first apply power to the host server, ALOM starts to run, but the server does not start up until you power it on.

The sc_powerstatememory variable allows 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
