1. Verify system power status is ON via ipmitool.

Run ipmitool from a remote system to SMDC (Service Management Daughter Card) Service Processor with the command shown in the example below. Check the first field "System Power" in the output. If the status is off, this means the system is not powered on.

      # ipmitool -I lanplus -U Admin -H <SMDC IP address> chassis status
System Power         : on
Power Overload       : false
Power Interlock      : inactive
Main Power Fault     : false
Power Control Fault  : false
Power Restore Policy : always-off
Last Power Event     :
Chassis Intrusion    : inactive
Front-Panel Lockout  : inactive
Drive Fault          : false
Cooling/Fan Fault    : false

If off and you expect it to be on, then refer to: <Document: 1011591.1> : How to check why the system is powered off, Sun Fire[TM] X2100 Servers..

2. Verifying system power if you are local to the server.

Verify that the Power LED from the front or rear is illuminated STEADY GREEN (ON) .
If not illuminated and you expect it to be ON, refer to: <Document: 1011591.1> : How to check why the system is powered off, Sun Fire[TM] X2100 Servers.

For further Information about LED states refer to Sun Fire X2100 Server Getting Started Guide, Part No. 819-3720, Chapter 1.6 "Powering On the Server"
