SPARC M8 and SPARC M7 Servers Administration Guide

Configure the Host Boot Mode Script

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/bootmode script=value

   The script property controls the host server's firmware OpenBoot method of booting. It does not affect the current /HOST/bootmode setting.

   value can be up to 255 bytes in length.

   You can specify a bootmode setting, and set the script within the same command.

   -> set /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_0/HOST/bootmode state=reset_nvram script="setenv diag-switch? true"

   After the host resets and OpenBoot reads the values stored in the script, OpenBoot sets the diag-switch? variable to the user-requested value of true.

   Note -  If you set bootmode script="", Oracle ILOM sets script to empty.
