Note - The following steps use Oracle ILOM 3.1 command syntax. If you are using Oracle ILOM 3.0, refer to the Oracle ILOM 3.0 Documentation Collection at http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=ilom30.
For example:
The BIOS screen appears.
After a few moments, the BIOS Setup Utility appears.
A message appears prompting you to continue this operation by selecting OK or to cancel this operation by selecting CANCEL.
The BIOS Setup Utility screen appears with the cursor highlighting the first value in the system time field.
The Boot Settings menu appears.
The Boot Device Priority menu appears listing the order of the known bootable devices. The first device in the list has the highest boot priority.
The device strings listed on the Boot menu and Options menu are in the format of: device type, slot indicator, and product ID string.
Note - You can change the boot order for other devices in the list by repeating Steps 7a and 7b for each device entry you want to change.
Alternatively, you can save the changes and exit the BIOS Setup Utility by selecting Save on the Exit menu. A message appears prompting you to save changes and exit setup. In the message dialog, select OK, then press Enter.
Note - When using the Oracle ILOM Remote Console, F10 is trapped by the local OS. You must use the F10 option listed in the Keyboard drop-down menu that is available at the top of the console.
