SPARC and Netra SPARC T5 Series Servers Administration Guide

Change the Host Boot Mode Behavior at Reset (Oracle ILOM)

The /HOST/bootmode state property controls how OpenBoot NVRAM variables are used. Normally the current settings of these variables are retained. Setting /HOST/bootmode state=reset_nvram changes the OpenBoot NVRAM variables to their default settings at the next reset.

• At the Oracle ILOM prompt, type:

  -> set /HOST/bootmode state=value
  

  where value is one of the following:

  • normal – At next reset, retains current NVRAM variable settings.

  • reset_nvram – At next reset, returns OpenBoot variables to default settings.

  ---

  Note - The state=reset_nvram property returns to normal after the next server reset or 10 minutes. (See Display the Host Boot Mode Expiration Date (Oracle ILOM).) The config and script properties do not expire. Those two properties are cleared when the server resets or when you clear them manually by setting value to "" ("" indicates an empty script).
