Thanks to the people who responded on this one. I still haven't solved
the problem, however I have found some more info. The best suggestion
was a firmware update, and I have now updated one of the systems in
question to the latest firmware version, which updates the SP and BIOS.

Sun's product notes for the X2100 M2[1] identify as a problem a service
processor reset when issuing a remote power-on command. Their suggested
fix is to upgrade to version 1.3 or later. Having upgraded to 1.4, I'm
still seeing the issue, so I'm less than convinced, and I have an open
service call with Sun to try and get this resolved. My particular
machines are all configured with the optional LSI logic SAS RAID card,
and 2 10k rpm 146Gb SAS disks - it's possible that the problem may only
be visible with certain hardware configurations. If there's anyone else
out there with an X2100, please test, and see if yours exhibits the same
problem.....

Mike
