power management solaris

[gfunk123]

Does anybody know how to switch off the power management feature on a Sun E250 running Solaris 7, weve had a new motherbouad installed on the box and it keeps powering itself off after a set period,

Any help would be greatly appreciated

1. You can move the S85power to s85power (small s) in /etc/rc2.d. This will stop the power daemon from starting.
2. ps -ef |grep powerd (give you the powerd process id)
3. kill -9 pid (the pid of the powerd from step 2)

Hi,
You can see power configuration in /etc/power.conf file.

There are three important values.

Idle,Start/Finish,Behavior
If behaviour is shutdown and system is idle for Idle time in /etc/power.conf file, powerd will suspend the system.
If Behaviour is noshutdown, powerd never suspends system.
power.conf man page will guide you better.
