Override OpenBoot Settings to Reset the Host

Use this task to override the OpenBoot settings and initiate a reboot of the control domain, which results in the host booting to the OpenBoot prompt.

This task uses PDomain_0 as an example. You must have the reset role (r) to complete this task.

1. Log in to Oracle ILOM.

   See Log In to Oracle ILOM (CLI).

2. Type:

   -> set /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_0/HOST/domain/control auto-boot=disabled
   Set 'auto-boot' to 'disabled'
   
   -> reset /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_0/HOST/domain/control
   Are you sure you want to reset /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_0/HOST/domain/control (y/n)? y
   Performing reset on /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_0/HOST/domain/control
   
   ->

   The host reboots and stops at the OpenBoot prompt. If the reset command does not complete successfully, use the -f|force option. To bypass the confirmation, use the -script option.
