  3. If necessary, start the host.

    See Start a Host.

  4. View the value for an individual OpenBoot variable using one of these methods:
    • From Oracle Solaris, type:

      # eeprom variable

      Where variable is a valid OpenBoot variable.

    • Get to the OpenBoot prompt (see Accessing the OpenBoot Prompt), then type:

      {0} ok printenv variable

      Where variable is a valid OpenBoot variable.

      For an example of printenv output, see printenv Output.

  5. View all of the OpenBoot variables using one of these methods:
    • From Oracle Solaris, type:

      # eeprom

      Note -  This command displays only the current values of the OpenBoot variables. It does not display the default values for the variables. To view the default values, use the printenv command from the OpenBoot prompt.
