Hi All, I got a HP ML 110 G4 series server, I would like to know how do I auto power on the server once I shutdown using halt.
It would probably be similar to my IBM Netfinity x232 server. You use wake on lan, which is available using SUSE's WOL utility. This will send a "magic packet" to the specified MAC address, which will cause the computer to start, provided wake on lan has been enabled in the BIOS.
Hi James, the ML110 G4 don't have the WOL option in BIOS
In that case I suggest you not shutdown halt when working remote, but rather shutdown -r (reboot) instead. Without wake on lan, or wake on ring, you are more or less toast. (Wake on ring was found in many older machines, and all you had to do once configured was to attach them to a phone line and call them with a regular phone). -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
