Can the O2 be woke-on-lan?

I think none of SGI machines ever had support for WOL, only the machines with L1/L2 controllers (Fuel, Origins, generally servers) have ability of remote start via serial port or L1 console.
You could build a simple device (using arduino for example) that would listen for WOL packet and turn the power ON using a relay, but then if i recall correctly, O2 doesn't have the prom option to start when power is enabled... (I think Octane does). Eventually you could have your device briefly short power button wires in the O2 to start it up.

For Sale: 2*O200 M/B, 2*O200 PSU, 6*256MB O200 RAM, 2*O200 SCSI Backplane, 2*O200 MSC, DMediaPro DM-2 ( 030-1653-002 Rev. H , XT-DIGVID) with Octane XIO pull (Origin pull optionally available)

This isn't a terribly bad idea.

I've built myself a device which does almost that, except that it listens for commands on serial port - just like the L1 or MSC. It has 8 relays which enable power for various devices.

If all you want is toggle 110/230V remotely, get an ePowerswitch S8 from ebay. They come with 8 serial switchable sockets. If you need web/lan switching, get the M4 or D4 model with only 4 sockets, which also go for about 70 EUR on ebay.

If an O2 isn't plugged in at the time of a scheduled start, will it power on as soon as it is plugged in? Otherwise, distribute the switched output of one of the devices above to the O2 and power supply and a simple circuit with Resistors and Capacitors that momentarily triggers a relay (connected to the O2's power switch) after a short delay.

There's a jumper on the O2 mainboard that you set to force it to power on whenever mains power is connected.

The PWR-UP jumper is alongside the Dallas realtime clock/battery chip. You do need to remove the PCI riser to reach it.
