RE: Remote power up of System i 520

This makes me think of the Big Bang Theory episode where Howard gets the robotic arm he invented stuck somewhere south of his belt buckle. : )

I would venture a guess that Dr. Franken could engineer a little robotic arm that would reach out on command and press the power button.

Rob,

Remember the FSP is an independent device and it powers up and boots, when power is applied to the system chassis without any intervention at all. Your HMC connects to that, so in effect, you are connecting to a powered up portion of the system. The FSP, which can control all the hardware can then cause the SPCN network to power up all of the chassis and devices it is aware of.

While power is has not been restored to the CEC and the expansion chassis, the FSP is up and running.

Sure?

Because my 9117, while HMC controlled, can still be powered off
all

the

way and yet I can remotely access the control panel to do stuff
like change it from a T to P side ipl

Short of an HMC, is there any way to remotely power up a System i 520?

I have LAN Console and Remote Control Panel on my desktop at work.

Due to

power issues last week (low voltage from utility) after a power

outage, I

changed QPWRRSTIPL to 0 for no power up when power is restored.

In a future outage that results in my power handling program
shutting

down

the system, I have no recourse to power it up other than 1) drive
in

to

work, or 2) get an HMC, correct?

I can remote from home to my work desktop, but since the System i
is powered off, there ain't not no Remote Control Panel.

Thanks.
