Preboot Menu Command Summary

The preboot menu includes the following commands.

Command
Description
boot
Boots the Oracle ILOM. The preboot menu exits, and Oracle ILOM boots.

Note - This command executes a modified boot sequence that does not offer the choice to select the diagnostic level, or to interrupt the boot sequence and return to the preboot menu. To execute the normal boot sequence, use the reset warm command instead.
vers
Displays version information including the hardware type, board rev, Oracle ILOM rev, revisions of PBSW and recovery U-Boot. Shows the checksum integrity of the images, and the preference between redundant images.
help
Displays a list of commands and parameters.
show
Displays a list of SP settings.
edit
Starts an interactive dialog that prompts and changes settings one by one. See Using the edit Command and Configuring the Preboot Menu for Remote Access for details.
diag
Runs the U-boot diagnostic tests in manual mode. For more on U-boot diagnostic tests, refer to Sun Server X2-8 (formerly Sun Fire X4800 M2) Diagnostics Guide.
net
{ config | dhcp | ping | flash }

  • config - Starts a dialog that allows you to change Oracle ILOM’s network settings.

  • dhcp - Changes the network addressing from static to DHCP.

    Note - You must set ipdiscovery=dhcp using the net config command first.

  • ping - Sends a ping.

  • flash - Downloads an Oracle ILOM firmware image. See How to Recover the SP Firmware Image.

    Type help net command for more details on these commands.
reset
{[warm ]| cold }. Resets the SP and the host.

  • warm - Resets the SP without affecting a running host.

  • cold - Resets the SP and the host. It has the effect of powering off the server.
unconfig
{ ilom_conf | most | all }

Causes Oracle ILOM to erase any configuration information and return the values to defaults the next time it boots.

  • ilom_conf - Resets configuration settings but preserves SP network and baudrate, preferred, and check_physical_presence settings.

  • most - Resets the SP data storage, but preserves network settings and baudrate, preferred, and check_physical_presence settings.

  • all - Resets all SP data storage and settings.

    Booting Oracle ILOM restores other defaults.

    Note - None of these options erases the dynamic FRU PROMs.
