Preboot Menu Command Summary

Command
Description and Options
boot
Boots the SP. The Preboot menu closes and the SP boots.

Note -  This command executes a modified boot sequence that does not offer the choice to select the diagnostic level, or to interrupt the boot sequence and return to the Preboot menu. To execute the normal boot sequence, use the reset warm command instead.

net
{ config | dhcp | ping | flash }
  • config - Starts a dialog that allows you to change the Oracle ILOM network settings.

unconfig
{ ilom_conf | most | all }
