On a virtualization switch running BIOS version 16, when you issue reset /SYS from ILOM CLI, the following events are logged in Oracle ILOM's event logs after the reboot.

Reset of /SYS by root succeeded.>
These events are erroneous; no fatal error actually occurs.
Avoidance: You can avoid encountering these events by using Oracle ILOM CLI command stop /SYSinstead of reset /SYS. Using stop /SYS causes a graceful shutdown of the switch, and prevents this error message from appearing in Oracle ILOM logs.
Workaround: On a virtualization switch running BIOS revision 16, these messages are harmless and are safe to ignore if they occur immediately following the reset /SYS command. No action needs to be taken.
