Power On the Server (Oracle ILOM)
These instructions only describe how to configure the preinstalled Oracle VM Server on your server. Oracle VM has other components that must be installed or already up and running to support the virtual machine environment.
For more information about Oracle VM requirements, refer to the Oracle VM documentation listed in Related Documentation.
Refer to Server Installation.
Power on the server – Use one of these methods:
From the Oracle ILOM web interface System Information page, click Power State > Turn On.
From the Oracle ILOM CLI, type:
-> start /System
Restart the server – Use one of these methods:
From the Oracle ILOM web interface, click Host Management > Power Control and select Reset from the Select Action list box. Then click Save and OK.
From the Oracle ILOM CLI, type:
-> reset /System
The server starts the boot process.
From the Oracle ILOM web interface System Information Summary page, under Actions, toggle Power State to On, then click the Launch button start the Remote Console application.
After the server boots, the GRUB menu appears.
From the Oracle ILOM CLI, type:
-> start /HOST/console
Are you sure you want to start /HOST/console (y/n)? y
Serial console started.
After the server boots, the GRUB menu appears.
From the GRUB menu, you can choose whether you want to continue to direct the display to the serial port, or whether you want to direct the display to a device connected to the video port.
Note - If you do not press a key within five seconds, the GRUB menu disappears from the screen and the display is by default directed to the serial port. To pause at the GRUB menu, press any key other than Enter. Then select the option you want to use and Press Enter to continue.
Note - The first two options and the last option listed on the screen are not supported.
Display output to the serial port – Select the appropriate option in the GRUB menu and press Enter.
This is the default option. If you do not select an option on the GRUB menu, after five seconds, the GRUB menu is no longer available and the system continues with the output directed to the serial port.
Display output to the video port – Select the appropriate option in the GRUB menu and press Enter.
If you choose this option, you must connect a device to the VGA connector on the server and an input device (USB keyboard or mouse).
After you have responded to all the prompts for system information, the server completes the boot process and displays the Oracle VM login prompt.
