Yeah, but they'll autoboot when they power back on. IBut if they're on a
UPS and the xyplex isn't, they'll drop to a boot prompt when they
receive the break from the xyplex as it shuts down. Then the power will
come back and all the Sun boxen, never having lost power, will be still
sitting happily waiting for someone to come along and type "go". But if
they're not UPSed, they'll autoboot, if they're set to.
