    When external power is restored, Oracle ILOM starts to run automatically. Normally, the host power is not turned on until you use Oracle ILOM to turn it Oracle ILOM records the current power state of the server in nonvolatile storage. If the HOST_LAST_POWER_STATE policy is enabled, Oracle ILOM can restore the host to the previous power state.
