Managing Virtual Keyswitch Settings

Specify Host Behavior

Use the /SYS keyswitch_state property to control the position of the virtual keyswitch.

At the -> prompt, type:
-> set /SYS keyswitch_state=value
where value can be:
- normal – The system can power itself on and start the boot process (the default).
- standby – The system cannot power itself on.
- diag – The system can power itself on using preset values of diagnostic properties (/HOST/diag level=max, /HOST/diag mode=max, /HOST/diag verbosity=max) to provide thorough fault coverage. This option overrides the values of diagnostic properties that you might have set.
- locked – The system can power itself on, however you are prohibited from updating any of the flash devices or setting /HOST send_break_action=break.

Control the Virtual Keyswitch (Web Interface)

You can use the web interface to control the virtual keyswitch position of the system.

Log in to the ILOM web interface as Administrator (root) to open the web interface

Select Remote Control -> Keyswitch.

Select the Keyswitch state value.

Click Save.
