Hi,
I'm currently configuring my Server to recover from clean shutdown by the UPS due to commercial power interruption.
The server is a DL 385 gen8 it has a D2700 attached by mini SAS.
As far I got told in the manual of the D2700 the D2700 must be started before starting the server. So I was planning in a delayed startup for the second group on the UPS on which the server is. Unfortunately the server also is on Commercial Power and as soon that one comes back it starts the server immediately, instead respecting the timing that will trigger to power comeback from the USP.
So the workaround is that I configure in the RBSU the Automatic Power-on to always start the system and provide a Power-On Delay.
But here starts the problem.
In the menu of RBSU I only get the following 2 options under Power-On Delay:
-No delay
-Random Delay
I was now searching for 6 hours and doing some trial and errors without success.
What has been tried:
I tried to configure the same setting trough ILO 4 web console but there it shows only the following:
-Minimum Delay
-Random up to 120 seconds
but nowhere I can select an exact time
So I was updating Ilo to the latest version (1.22) but still no success.
So I was trying to update the ROM (RBSU) and updated to A28 2012.12.17 but still no option to change to an accurate timing.
I'm some kind of helpless now and I would really appreciate if anybody had this previously and could work out this.
Thank you for your time and help
