Boot the OS Manually (OpenBoot Prompt)

Language:

You must have the console role (c) and the admin role (a) to complete this task.

Log in to Oracle ILOM.
See Log In to Oracle ILOM (CLI).
Start the host console.
See Start the Host Console.
If necessary, and if auto-boot? is not set to true, start the host.
See Start a Host.

Boot the OS using one of these methods:

Boot from a device that is specified in the OpenBoot boot-device variable:
```
{0} ok boot
```
Note - For booting from an iSCSI device over IPoIB, the boot-device variable shows the path to an eUSB device, and the root partition normally specified there is on the iSCSI device.
Boot from a specific boot disk if one is specified in the OpenBoot boot-device variable:
```
{0} ok boot disk
```

Specify a device to boot from:

{0} ok boot boot-device-path

where boot-device-path is the path to a valid device from which to boot.

Caution - If you plan to use a boot disk that is part of an FC array to install the OS in a hands-free manner, you must change the device path before you execute this command. In the device path, you must replace disk@ with sdd@. For example, the following device path, /pci@312/pci@1/SUNW,emlxs@0/fp@0,0/disk@w5000cca0172afb6d,0:a should be: /pci@312/pci@1/SUNW,emlxs@0/fp@0,0/ssd@w5000cca0172afb6d,0:a
