4.2.2 Setting/Checking the Wait Time for Air Conditioning


4.2.2 Setting/Checking the Wait Time for Air Conditioning
If the wait time for air conditioning is set, the system waits until the set amount of time has passed before starting. This can be a useful control to, for example, start the system after the air conditioning in the data center has adjusted the temperature.
Note - The SPARC M12/M10 does not support the wait time setting for air conditioning.
Setting the Wait Time for Air Conditioning
Use the setpowerupdelay command of the XSCF firmware to set the wait time for air conditioning.
Execute the command with a user account that has the platadm or fieldeng privilege.
XSCF> setpowerupdelay -c wait -s time
For time, specify the wait time for air conditioning in minutes. You can specify an integer from 0 to 255. The default is 0.
Note - If you turn on the power by pressing the POWER switch on the operation panel, the set wait time for air conditioning is ignored.
Operation Procedure
  1. Set the wait time for air conditioning with the setpowerupdelay command.
    The following example sets 5 minutes as the wait time for air conditioning.
XSCF> setpowerupdelay -c wait -s 5
  1. If the wait time for air conditioning is set while the system is running, the set time becomes valid at the next system startup.
Checking the Wait Time for Air Conditioning
Use the showpowerupdelay command of the XSCF firmware to check the wait time for air conditioning.
Execute the command with a user account that has the platadm, platop, or fieldeng privilege. Alternatively, you can also execute it with a user account that has the pparadm, pparmgr, or pparop privilege for the target physical partition.
XSCF> showpowerupdelay
In the results output by the showpowerupdelay command, "warmup time" shows the currently set warmup time in minutes. "wait time" shows the currently set wait time for air conditioning in minutes.
Operation Procedure
  1. Display the wait time for air conditioning with the showpowerupdelay command.
    In the following example, you can see that the set wait time for air conditioning is 20 minutes.
XSCF> showpowerupdelay
warmup time : 10 minute(s)
wait time : 20 minute(s)
