Using the ILOM Preboot Menu

The ILOM preboot menu is a utility that can be used to fix problems with ILOM that cannot be fixed while it is running. It allows you to interrupt the ILOM boot process, configure settings, then continue booting the ILOM. Among other things, it allows you to reset the ILOM root password to factory defaults, restore ILOM access to the serial port, and update the SP firmware.
