If you do not plan to use the preinstalled OS, use this procedure to prevent the server from booting from the preinstalled OS.
There are many methods by which you can install the OS. For example, you can boot and install the OS from DVD media or from another server on the network.
For more information about the methods, refer to these Oracle Solaris document sections:

The Host Boot Mode page is displayed.
This setting applies a one-time NVRAM (OpenBoot) change based on the script setting, then resets the NVRAM to default settings on the next host reset.
This setting configures the host to stop at the ok prompt instead of automatically booting the preinstalled OS.
Note - You have 10 minutes to perform the next step. After 10 minutes, the state is automatically returned to normal.
As the host resets, messages are displayed in the serial console. The reset activity takes a few minutes to complete. When the ok prompt is displayed, continue to the next step.
For more information, refer to the Oracle Solaris installation guide that corresponds to your desired release and installation method.
