Oracle ILOM Properties That Affect POST Behavior
These Oracle ILOM properties determine how POST performs it operations. See also the
flowchart that follows the table.
Note - The value of keyswitch_state must be normal when individual POST parameters are changed.
|
|
|
/SYS keyswitch_state |
normal |
The system
can power on and run POST (based on the other parameter settings). This
parameter overrides all other commands. |
|
diag |
The system runs POST based on predetermined settings: level=max,
verbosity=max, trigger=all-reset |
|
standby |
The system cannot power on. |
|
locked |
The system can power on and run
POST, but no flash updates can be made. |
/HOST/diag mode |
off |
POST does not run. |
|
normal |
Runs POST according
to diag level value. |
|
service |
Runs POST with preset values for diag level and diag verbosity. |
/HOST/diag level |
max |
If mode
= normal, runs all the minimum tests plus extensive processor and memory tests. |
|
min |
If
mode = normal, runs the minimum set of tests. |
/HOST/diag trigger |
none |
Does not run POST on
reset. |
|
hw-change |
(Default) Runs POST following an AC power cycle and when the top cover
is removed. |
|
power-on-reset |
Runs POST only for the first power on. |
|
error-reset |
(Default) Runs POST if
fatal errors are detected. |
|
all-resets |
Runs POST after any reset. |
/HOST/diag verbosity |
normal |
POST output displays all test and
informational messages. |
|
min |
POST output displays functional tests with a banner and pinwheel. |
|
max |
POST displays all
test and informational messages, and some debugging messages. |
|
debug |
POST displays extensive debugging output on the
system console, including the devices being tested and the debug output of each
test. |
|
none |
No POST output is displayed. |
