Setting
Next Boot Device on x86 Host Server
Oracle ILOM provides a set of x86 server properties that enables
system administrators to set the next boot device on the host server.
However, these configurable boot device properties in Oracle ILOM,
apply only to the next time the x86 server powers on.
Note - After the system powers on and boots the Oracle ILOM
user-specified boot device, the system reverts to the boot device
properties set in the system BIOS Utility.
System administrators can set the x86 server property for
the next boot device from the Oracle ILOM CLI or web interface.
For more details about using the x86 system next boot device properties
in Oracle ILOM, see the following table.
Note - For details about how to move devices in the boot order
or to make persistent changes to the boot order using the BIOS Utility,
see the BIOS section in the x86 server administration guide for
selecting a boot device. For details about how to move devices in
the boot order or to make persistent changes to the boot order using
the Oracle Hardware Management Pack (HMP) software, see the biosconfig section
in the Oracle Server CLI Tools User's
Guide.
