in the Domain Status panel and the Power On button is accessible.
Important:
If INACTIVE is not displayed in the Domain Status panel and the Power On button is not
accessible, check whether another user has already launched the power-up sequence on
this domain. If the power-up sequence is not already in progress, see What To Do if an
Incident Occurs, on page 3-42.

Power On Confirmation dialog opens.
4. Select the View Power-On Logs checkbox if you want power-on logs to be automatically
displayed during the power-on sequence and click Yes to confirm.
Domain hardware is powered up from the stand-by mode to the main mode and the
Operating System is booted. As the power-on sequence progresses, power-on steps and
domain state are displayed in the Domain Status panel, as shown in the following table.
