Gurus, After I did the steps below to disable the power management feature on my Blade 1000. I was still suffering from the HDD spinning down ! When try to wake the machine up a funny sound can be heard from the HDD. At last I found an OBP variable called energystar-enabled? set to true, when change it to false everything went fine ! So the solution to my problem was: Ok setenv energystar-enabled? False Or from Solaris /usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/eeprom energystar-enabled?=False PS: I did not find any reference to this variable on docs.sun.com !!!!

Thomas [netsun7@hotmail.com] Well, sorry to post this trivial question. The behavior of Blade is not like the machine I knew before (Ultra 60). I have never seen the Ultra 60 go to this hibernation mode (I mean spinning down the HD and taking a long time to wake up ) ! I have searched sunsolve and docs.sun.com for a "Standby mode" keyword not for power management ! Here is the solution: * use these utilities to control the power management - /usr/openwin/bin/dtpower - pmconfig * Kill the powerd process, and disable the powerd startup script (/etc/rc2.d/S85power ). You may also rename /etc/power.conf file. Thanks.

Gurus, When left SUNBlade 1000 idle for a period of time it looks like it goes to a hypernation or standby mode. How can I disable this ?
