We want to shutdown the filer in the event of a (more than 10 minute) power failure to the computer room. We have a (NT hosted) script that hits all the NT/2k servers and also telnets to the Sun server and "INIT 5"'s them.
Hunted around NOW site, and Google groups, but to no avail. Anyone got a means (either from NT/2K or Sun) to automatically remotely (but cleanly!) stop/halt the Filer. And can you power it off that way too?
No users will be operational (no UPS for the user community) so managing remote connections is not a concern.
rsh filer halt
will be enough to shutdown gracefully (filer cannot be powered off remotely). You have only to remember to add you NT host name and username (case sensitive!) to /etc/hosts.equiv on the filer.
Best regards,
Jacek Nogala
