How to set auto-power for iDrac 9

How to set auto-power for iDrac 9.

Problem:

iDrac 9 default Power Recovery is Auto; However, APC UPS may shutdown a server externally, therefore power-up may not occur as expected.

Option 1 Solution:

BIOS (F2) > System Security Screen > AC Power Recovery > On

Option 2 Solution:

ssh root@<IP-of-iDrac>
racadm get BIOS.SysSecurity.AcPwrRcvry
racadm set BIOS.SysSecurity.AcPwrRcvry On

Which will report

  RAC1017: Successfully modified the object value and the change is in 
       pending state.
       To apply modified value, create a configuration job and reboot 
       the system. To create the commit and reboot jobs, use "jobqueue" 
       command. For more information about the "jobqueue" command, see RACADM 
       help.

Therfore, to apply the new setting:

racadm jobqueue create BIOS.Setup.1-1

But it also requires a reboot.

racadm serveraction powercycle

Finally, it may be verified via

racadm get BIOS.SysSecurity.AcPwrRcvry
