[OpenIndiana-discuss] "init 6/reboot" reboots the OS but not the hardware

[Steve Gonczi]

You need remote reset or remote power cycle capability. 
An ILOM console, if your hardware has support for it 
would provide this. 

ILOM is common on most server class hardware 
( Sun servers certainly have it, so do Supermicro 
boards). 

Failing that, there are inexpensive remote power cycle 
power outlets you can buy. These allow power control of the 
individual power plugs remotely.

Hi, I just upgraded an aged OpenSolaris 2009.6 to OpenIndiana 148 and I 
have a silly but annoying issue. 

When doing "init 6" or, even, "reboot", the OS shutdowns and reboot 
inmediatelly, but the machine not actually reboots. 

That is, the system is shutdown and the kernel reboots inmediatelly, 
just like would do a "zone reboot", but the machine doesn't powercycle, 
doesn't show the BIOS, doesn't show the POST, and, the really annoying 
thing in this case, doesn't show the GRUB menu. And this is critical to me. 

The machine is in a remote datacenter, but I have KVM access. What can I 
do?. 

My GRUB entry is: (just in case is something related to the way I launch OI)
