OpenBoot Configuration Variables

TABLE C-1 describes the OpenBoot firmware configuration variables stored in non-volatile memory on the system. The OpenBoot configuration variables are printed here in the order in which they appear when you issue the following command:

-> show –o table –level all /SYS

**TABLE C-1 OpenBoot Configuration Variables Stored on the System Configuration Card**
Variable	Possible Values	Default Value	Description
ttya-rts-dtr-off	true, false	false	If `true`, operating system does not assert `rts` (request-to-send) and `dtr` (data‐transfer‐ready) on serial management port.
ttya-ignore-cd	true, false	true	If `true`, operating system ignores carrier-detect on serial management port.
keyboard-layout
reboot-command
security-mode	none, command, full	none	Firmware security level.
security-password	`variable-name`	none	Firmware security password if `security‐mode` is not `none` (never displayed). Do not set this directly.
security-#badlogins	`variable-name`	none	Number of incorrect security password attempts.
verbosity	min, max	min	Sets verbosity mode.
pci-mem64?	true, false	false
diag-switch?	true, false	false	If `true`: OpenBoot verbosity is set to maximum If `false`: OpenBoot verbosity is set to minimum
local-mac-address?	true, false	true	If `true`, network drivers use their own MAC address, not the server MAC address.
fcode-debug?	true, false	false	If `true`, include name fields for plug-in device FCodes.
scsi-initiator-id	0-15	7	SCSI ID of the Serial Attached SCSI controller.
oem-logo		No default
oem-logo?	true, false	false	If `true`, use custom OEM logo; otherwise, use the server manufacturer’s logo.
oem-banner		No default
oem-banner?	true, false	false	If `true`, use custom OEM banner.
ansi-terminal?	true, false	true	If `true`, enable ANSI terminal emulation.
screen-#columns	0-n	80	Sets number of columns on screen.
screen-#rows	0-n	34	Sets number of rows on screen.
ttya-mode	9600,8,n,1,-	9600,8,n,1,-	Serial management port (baud rate, bits, parity, stop, handshake). The serial management port only works at the default values.
output-device	`virtual-console`, screen	`virtual-console`	Power-on output device.
input-device	`virtual-console`, keyboard	`virtual-console`	Power-on input device.
auto-boot-on-error?	true, false	false	If `true`, boot automatically after system error.
load-base	0-n	16384	Address.
auto-boot?	true, false	true	If `true`, boot automatically after power on or reset.
network-boot-arguments	[`protocol`, ] [`key`=`value,` ]	none	Arguments to be used by the PROM for network booting. Defaults to an empty string. `network-boot-arguments` can be used to specify the boot protocol (RARP/DHCP) to be used and a range of system knowledge to be used in the process. For further information, see the `eeprom` (`1M`) man page or your Solaris reference manual.
boot-command	`variable-name`	boot	Action following a `boot` command.
boot-file
boot-device	/pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@ ...	disk net
multipath-boot?	true, false	false
boot-device-index	0-n	0
use-nvramrc?	true, false	false	If `true`, execute commands in NVRAMRC during server startup.
nvramrc	`variable-name`	none	Command script to execute if `use‐nvramrc?` is `true.`
error-reset-recovery	boot, sync, none	boot	Command to execute following a system reset generated by an error.
