.SH NAME
power.conf \- Power Management configuration information file
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fB/etc/power.conf\fR
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBpower.conf\fR file is used by the Power Management configuration program
\fBpmconfig\fR(1M), to initialize the settings for Power Management. If you
make changes to this file, you must run \fBpmconfig\fR(1M) manually for the
changes to take effect.
.sp
.LP
The \fBdtpower\fR(1M) GUI allows the configuration of a subset of parameters
allowed by this file. For ease-of-use, it is recommended that you use
\fBdtpower\fR(1M) to configure the parameters. See the \fBEXAMPLES\fR section
for information on disabling Power Management.
.sp
.LP
Power Management addresses two specific management scenarios: management of
individual devices and management of the whole system. An individual device is
power managed if the device supports multiple power levels and if the device
driver uses Power Management interfaces provided by the kernel to save device
power when the device is idle.
.sp
.LP
All entries in the \fBpower.conf\fR file are processed in the order that they
occur in the file.
.SS "Automatic Device Power Management"
.sp
.LP
Devices with drivers that use the automatic device Power Management interfaces
are automatically power managed if the \fBautopm\fR entry is enabled. The
\fBautopm\fR entry is described near the end of this section. The
\fBpm-components\fR property describes the Power Management model of a device
driver to the Power Management framework. See \fBpm-components\fR(9P) for more
information.
.sp
.LP
When a component has been idle at a given power level for its threshold time,
the power level of the component is reduced to the next lower power level of
that component, if any. For devices which implement multiple components, each
component is power-managed independently.
.sp
.LP
Default thresholds for components of automatically power managed devices are
computed by the Power Management framework based on the system idleness
threshold. By default, all components of the device are powered off if they
have all been idle for the system's idleness threshold. The default system
idleness threshold is determined by the applicable United States Environmental
Protection Agency's (EPA) \fIEnergy Star Memorandum of Understanding\fR. See
the \fBNOTES\fR section of this manual page for more information.
.sp
.LP
To set the system idleness \fIthreshold\fR, use one of the following entries:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
system-threshold \fIthreshold\fR
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.in +2
.nf
system-threshold \fBalways-on\fR
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
where \fIthreshold\fR is the value of the system idleness threshold in hours,
minutes or seconds as indicated by a trailing \fBh\fR, \fBm\fR or \fBs\fR
(defaulting to seconds if only a number is given). If \fBalways-on\fR is
specified, then by default, all devices are left at full power.
.sp
.LP
The \fBsystem-threshold\fR entry is applicable to CPU Power Management only
when CPU Power Management has been configured to operate in poll-mode, which is
expressed through the \fBcpupm\fR keyword.
.sp
.LP
If a system has power manageable CPUs, these can be managed independently of
the system idleness threshold by using one of the following entries:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
cpu-threshold \fIthreshold\fR
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.in +2
.nf
cpu-threshold \fBalways-on\fR
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
where \fIthreshold\fR is the value of the CPU idleness threshold in hours,
minutes or seconds as indicated by a trailing \fBh\fR, \fBm\fR or \fBs\fR
(defaulting to seconds if only a number is given). If \fBalways-on\fR is
specified, then by default, all CPUs are left at full power.
.sp
.LP
The \fBcpu-threshold\fR keyword is used only when CPU Power Management has been
configured to operate in poll-mode, which is expressed through the \fBcpupm\fR
keyword.
.sp
.LP
If no \fBcpu-threshold\fR entry is specified, then the system idleness
threshold is used.
.sp
.LP
To override the default device component thresholds assigned by the Power
Management framework, a \fBdevice-thresholds\fR entry can be used. A
\fBdevice-thresholds\fR entry sets thresholds for a specific automatically
power-managed device or disables automatic Power Management for the specific
device.
.sp
.LP
A \fBdevice-thresholds\fR entry has the form:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
device-thresholds \fIphys_path\fR \fI(threshold ...) ...\fR
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
or
.sp
.in +2
.nf
device-thresholds \fIphys_path\fR \fIthreshold\fR
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
or
.sp
.in +2
.nf
device-thresholds \fIphys_path\fR \fBalways-on\fR
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
where \fIphys_path\fR specifies the physical path (\fBlibdevinfo\fR(3LIB)) of a
specific device. For example,
\fB/pci@8,600000/scsi@4/ssd@w210000203700c3ee,0\fR specifies the physical path
of a disk. A symbolic link into the \fB/devices\fR tree, for example
\fB/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0\fR, is also accepted. The thresholds apply (or keeping the
device always on applies) to the specific device only.
.sp
.LP
In the first form above, each \fIthreshold\fR value represents the number of
hours, minutes or seconds, depending on a trailing \fBh\fR, \fBm\fR or \fBs\fR
with a default to seconds, to spend idle at the corresponding power level
before power is reduced to the next lower level of that component. Parentheses
are used to group thresholds per component, with the first (leftmost) group
being applied to component \fB0\fR, the next to component \fB1\fR, and the
like. Within a group, the last (rightmost) number represents the time to be
idle in the highest power level of the component before going to the
next-to-highest level, while the first (leftmost) number represents the time to
be idle in the next-to-lowest power level before going to the lowest power
level.
.sp
.LP
If the number of groups does not match the number of components exported by the
device (by means of \fBpm-components\fR(9P) property), or the number of
thresholds in a group is not one less than the number of power levels the
corresponding component supports, then an error message is printed and the
entry is ignored.
.sp
.LP
For example, assume a device called \fBxfb\fR exports the components \fBFrame
Buffer\fR and \fBMonitor\fR. Component \fBFrame Buffer\fR has two power levels:
\fBOff\fR and \fBOn\fR. Component \fBMonitor\fR has four power levels:
\fBOff\fR, \fBSuspend, Standby\fR, and \fBOn\fR.
.sp
.LP
The following \fBdevice-thresholds\fR entry:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
device-thresholds \fI/pci@f0000/xfb@0 (0) (3m 5m 15m)\fR
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
would set the \fIthreshold\fR time for the \fBMonitor\fR component of the
specific \fBxfb\fR card to go from \fBOn\fR to \fBStandby in\fR 15 minutes, the
\fIthreshold\fR for \fBMonitor\fR to go from \fBStandby\fR to \fBSuspend\fRin 5
minutes, and the \fIthreshold\fR for \fBMonitor\fR to go from \fBSuspend\fR to
\fBOff\fR in 3 minutes. The threshold for \fBFrame Buffer\fR to go from
\fBOn\fR to \fBOff\fR is 0 seconds.
.sp
.LP
In the second form above, where a single threshold value is specified without
parentheses, the threshold value represents a maximum overall time within which
the entire device should be powered down if it is idle. Because the system does
not know about any internal dependencies there can be among a device's
components, the device can actually be powered down sooner than the specified
\fIthreshold\fR, but does take longer than the specified \fIthreshold\fR,
provided that all device components are idle.
.sp
.LP
In the third form above, all components of the device are left at full power.
.sp
.LP
Device Power Management entries are only effective if there is no user process
controlling the device directly. For example, X Windows systems directly
control frame buffers. The entries in the \fBpower.conf\fR file are effective
only when X Windows is not running.
.sp
.LP
Dependencies among devices can also be defined. A device depends upon another
if none of its components might have their power levels reduced unless all
components of the other device are powered off. A dependency can be indicated
by an entry of the form:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
device-dependency \fIdependent_phys_path phys_path [ phys_path ... ]\fR
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
where \fIdependent_phys_path\fR is the path name (as above) of the device that
is kept up by the others, and the \fIphys_path\fR entries specify the devices
that keep it up. A symbolic link into the \fB/devices\fR tree, such as
\fB/dev/fb\fR, is also accepted. This entry is needed only for logical
dependents for the device. A logical dependent is a device that is not
physically connected to the power managed device (for example, the display and
the keyboard). Physical dependents are automatically considered and need not be
included.
.sp
.LP
In addition to listing dependents by physical path, an arbitrary group of
devices can be made dependent upon another device by specifying a property
dependency using the following syntax:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
device-dependency-property \fIproperty\fR \fIphys_path\fR [\fIphys_path\fR ...]
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
where each device that exports the property \fIproperty\fR is kept up by the
devices named by \fIphys_path\fR(s). A symbolic link into the \fB/devices\fR
tree (such as \fB/dev/fb\fR) is accepted as well as a pathname for
\fIphys_path\fR.
.sp
.LP
For example, the following entry ensures that every device that exports the
boolean property named \fBremovable-media\fR is kept up when the console
framebuffer is up. See \fBremovable-media\fR(9P).
.sp
.in +2
.nf
# This entry keeps removable media from being powered down unless the
# console framebuffer and monitor are powered down
# (See removable-media(9P))
#
device-dependency-property removable-media /dev/fb
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
An \fBautopm\fR entry can be used to enable or disable automatic device Power
Management on a system-wide basis. The format of the \fBautopm\fR entry is:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
autopm \fIbehavior\fR

Because of reliability problems encountered in BIOS implementations of X86
systems not produced by Sun Microsystems, by default, only X86 workstation
products produced by Sun are considered to support S3 (suspend to RAM). To

When the system is suspended, the current system state is saved on the disk in

statefile:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
\fBstatefile\fR \fIpathname\fR
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
where \fIpathname\fR identifies a block special file, for example,
\fB/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2\fR, or is the absolute pathname of a local \fBufs\fR file.
If the pathname specifies a block special file, it can be a symbolic link as
long as it does not have a file system mounted on it. If pathname specifies a
local ufs file, it cannot be a symbolic link. If the file does not exist, it is
created during the \fBsuspend\fR operation. All the directory components of the
path must already exist.
.sp
.LP
The actual size of statefile depends on a variety of factors, including the
size of system memory, the number of loadable drivers/modules in use, the
number and type of processes running, and the amount of user memory that has
been locked down. It is recommended that statefile be placed on a file system
with at least 10 Mbytes of free space. In case there is no statefile entry at
boot time, an appropriate new entry is automatically created by the system.

System Power Management ( suspend-resume) is currently supported only on a
limited set of hardware platforms. See the \fISolaris Common Desktop
Environment: User\&'s Guide\fR for a complete list of platforms that support
system Power Management. See \fBuname\fR(2) to programmatically determine if

Sun X86 desktop models first shipped after July 1, 1999 fall within United
States Environmental Protection Agency's \fIEnergy Star Memorandum of
Understanding #3\fR guidelines and have autopm and autoS3 enabled by default,
with entry into S3 after 30 minutes of idleness. This is achieved by
interpreting the default keyword of the autopm and autoS3 behaviors as enabled
for these machines. You are not prompted to confirm the default behavior. On
all other X86 systems, the autopm and autoS3 default keywords are interpreted
as \fBdisable\fR.
