View and manage ILOM settings for stored LDom configurations.


Before You Begin

To view and manage the ILOM settings for stored LDom configurations, the following requirements must be met:



Note - ILOM 3.0.12 or later is required to view the LDom targets and properties from a SPARC T3 Series server. ILOM 2.0.0 or later is required to: (1) specify which LDom configuration is used on the host SPARC server, and (2) to manage the boot property values for the control domain from the host SPARC server.



procedure icon  View Stored LDom Configurations on SPARC T3 Series Server

1. Log in to the ILOM web interface on a SPARC T3 Series Server.

2. In the web interface, click Remote Host --> Host Domains.

3. In the Domain Configurations table, you can view a list of LDom Configurations currently saved in LDom Manager.


View stored LDom configurations.

4. To commit the changes made on the Host Domain page, click Save.


procedure icon  Configure Host Power to Stored LDom Configurations

1. Log in to the ILOM web interface on a SPARC server.

2. In the web interface, click Remote Host --> Host Domains.

3. In the Host Domain page, enable or disable the Auto Boot or Boot Guest checkboxes.

By default, the Auto Boot checkbox for the host control domain and guest domains are set to enabled (boots when server is powered-on or reset).

Disabling the auto-boot property value on the control domain will prevent automatic reboots and stop the control domain at the OpenBoot ok prompt after the next power-on or reset. Disabling the boot_guests property value for the guest domains will prevent the guest domains from booting after the next power-on or reset.


procedure icon  Specify Host Power to a Stored LDom Configuration

1. Log in to the ILOM web interface on a SPARC server.

2. In the web interface, click Remote Host --> Host Boot Mode.


Configure host boot mode settings.

3. In the Host Boot Mode Settings page, specify the following information to override the default method the server uses to boot.

Instructions and Description

State

In the State list box, select one of the following options:

  • Normal. At next reset, this option will retain the current NVRAM variable settings.
  • Reset NVRAM. At next reset, this option will return all OpenBoot variables to default settings.

The State dictates the boot mode at reset.

Note - The Reset NVRAM value will return to normal after the next server reset or 10 minutes. The Config and Script properties do not expire and will be cleared upon the next server reset or manually by leaving the fields blank.

Script

Specify a boot script.

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

LDOM Config

Specify a saved LDom configuration file name.


4. To commit the changes made on the Host Boot Mode Settings page, click Save.
