UCS C220 M3 doesn't power on automatically when power is restored

[zhimzhan]

Hi,

We have 2 UCS C220 M3 server. I had configured the power restoration policy to "power on", but when I try to unplug/plug the power cord, it doesn't power on automatically.  Is there any other config needed or any known issues?

The server info and the Power restore policy is attached. Thanks.

Are you looking at the KVM? Does the display show anything at all? Maybe you are not waiting long enough. Also look at this thread: https://community.cisco.com/t5/unified-computing-system/ucs-220m3-auto-startup/td-p/2506436

Hi Rob,

You are right. During the power shutdown/restore this weekend, the UCS is powered up automatically. From the log, it waits for about 10 minutes to start booting up. When I tested it before, I didn't wait for that long time.

Thanks for your help!
