Booting a G5 Xserve on applying power

[Rick Krutz]

All,

 

I have about 25 dual G5 Xserves (running YDL 4) that are part of a system we
are building that includes many Intel-based servers.  All are protected by
an APC UPS.  We shut the machines down with a series of scripts and then
remove power with the UPS.  When we turn power back on, the Intel systems
come up fine as there is a boot-on-power option (at the BIOS level).  The
Xserves require manual intervention (hitting the power switch) on each
server.  I have heard that this is not a problem with MacOS.  Is that true?
Is there any workaround that anyone knows for dealing with this with the G5
and YDL4?  Does it work with YDL 3?   Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Rick
