OBP Variables

Before you perform the boot net command from the OBP prompt (ok), you must verify that the local-mac-address? variable is set to false, which is the factory default. If it is set to true, you must ensure that this value is an appropriate local configuration.


Caution - Caution -

If local-mac-address? is set to true, it may prevent the domain from successfully booting over the network.


In a netcon(1M) window, you can use the following command at the OBP prompt to display the values of the OBP variables:

ok printenv
