same here.
remote ip access to both RLM and serial console to manage and gracefully shutdown heads cleanly remote ip access to PDU's to kill power to shelves after safe shutdown
losing AC with lots of filers/shelves gets nasty real fast and is not enjoyable.

In our labs we use IP-addressable power strips.

We recently had a brown out in one of our smaller data center, and when the power came back, the AC units did not kick in on time. The filers came online and promptly heated up, causing over temperature alarms to go off. These NetApp units are in standard NetApp cabinets so the only way (that we know of) to shutdown was to be physically on-site to turnoff the breakers to these cabinets. The question to all toasters is how do you remotely turn off the shelves when you have a situation like this? Most of the heat is generated by the shelves, and we couldn't find a way to shutdown the shelves remotely. Shutting down the heads don't help as the disks are still spinning and generating heat. Do you have remote controlled power outlets for these L6-20 /L6-30 power connectors that these shelves use? Can you recommend some solutions? thanks in advance -Sto Rage
