Well, short of offering a 'poweroff' PROM command, or a 'halt -poweroff' option to ONTAP, you might look into managed power strips, so you could halt the filers from the serial console, then telnet to the power strip and have it switch off the AC. I've never used 'em, but the prospect is intriguing... I'm sure a web search would point out some vendors to look at, unless others on the list have implemented something like this and have some feedback.

This thread is a bit OT, but I can't stand to see these recommended -- they're dreadful, nasty little devices. Be sure to check out the APC MasterSwitch -- they're kinda pricey, but it includes SNMP, HTTP and telnet interfaces (almost identical to those on the UPS's). We've ended up buying several dozen of them and every colo machine is connected to one.

Or, NetApp could just file this as an RFE and bring us Sun Netra-like LOM on our console port as originally suggested. Having worked with several Netras I must say it is quite the cats meow.
