Configuring Cisco Access Registrar to Automatically Power Up
There are several layers of processing involved in running the Cisco Access Registrar application. Each 
layer has choices it can make about what to do when it is first powered up after power failures.
You can configure the Cisco Access Registrar to start automatically when power is restored to the 
Jumpstart.
The two places where you have to change the configurations to make this possible are:
UCS Hardware—The UCS hardware has to be configured to power up the ESXi hypervisor when 
power is restored.
ESXi Hypervisor—The ESXi hypervisor has to be configured to power up the Cisco Access 
Registrar virtual appliance when power is restored to the ESXi hypervisor layer.
To configure the UCS Hardware to automatically power up the ESXi hypervisor:
Step 1
Connect a browser to the CIMC UCS Management Console, and log into the console. 
Step 2
In the Server tab on the left pane, select the Power Policies link. 
Step 3
Select Power On from the Power Restore Policy drop-down list in the Power Restore Policy area in the 
right pane. 
If you want, you can enter a delay value in the Power Delay Value field.
