Pressing Ctrl+N Might Bypass Network Boot and HBA Option ROM Load

Bug 15601623

Issue: If you install the HBA in a Sun Fire X4170 M2 or Sun Fire X4270 M2 system, and you press Ctrl+N on the serial console to initiate a network boot, the network boot might not be initiated, and the Option ROM for the HBA might not be loaded.

Workaround: Do one of the following:

  • Use the ILOM Remote Console and press F12 to initiate a network boot.

  • If using the serial console, press Ctrl+E to get to the BIOS boot device priority menu, and then move the desired PXE adapter (network boot device) to the top of the boot device priority list. The PXE adapter will then be used as the boot device.

  • Press Ctrl+N during, or after, the time the HBA Option ROM code is running. The Option ROM code is running when the following banner is displayed:
