Can the HP LO100i be used to automatically start and stop a server?

  • 772

I recently bought a DL160 G6 and i'm looking for a way to automatically start and stop the server at certain hours (which i know is possible with IBMs management modules but i'm not quite sure about HPs LO100i). I've read through the specification and couldn't find anything on that topic. If you are using / have access to one of those could you please check if that is a possibility? Thanks

    I don't see any way to do it after browsing through Lights Out on a G7. I also don't think the bios supports power on/off based on the bios clock. My best suggestion is to run a scheduled task or script to automatically power off the machine then plug the power supply into some kind of controllable outlet/power strip (http://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-7-Day-8-Outlet-Power-Strip-Timer-15077/100685866 or something similar?) and tell the bios to start the host after "power loss" or whatever that setting in the bios is called.
