Setting Host Control and Boot Properties on SPARC Host Server
Oracle ILOM provides a set of SPARC server properties that
enables system administrators to view host control information,
as well as optionally set properties to control system boot behavior.
System administrators can view host control information or
set configurable SPARC server boot properties from the Oracle ILOM
CLI or web interface. For more details about these properties, see
the following table.
Note - CLI paths for multi-domain SPARC servers are not provided
in the following table. For these type of servers, append /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_n to
the start of the CLI paths described in the following tables. For
further information about performing these actions on a multi-domain
SPARC server, refer to the administration guide for the server.

Host Control Information
/HOST |
Read-only properties |
View SPARC server host control
information for:
MAC Address – Displays
Ethernet MAC address assigned to managed device. Hypervisor Version – Displays Hypervision firmware
version. OBP– Displays the OpenBoot PROM (OBP) firmware
version. POST Version – Displays the current POST version. SysFW Version – Displays the current Oracle ILOM
firmware version installed. Host Status – Displays the current power
state for the host operating system.
CLI Syntax for Host Control Information:
show /HOST |
Auto Restart Policy
(autorestart=) |
Reset |
Reset |Dump
Core|None
Set to instruct the Oracle ILOM which action to take if the
host operating system hangs.
Reset (default) – . Oracle ILOM attempts to reset the Oracle Solaris guest when the
watchdog timer expires. None – Oracle ILOM takes no action other
than to issue a warning. Dump Core – Oracle ILOM attempts to force
a core dump of the operating system when the Oracle Solaris watchdog
timer expires.
CLI Syntax for Auto Restart Policy:
set /HOST autorestart=reset|dumpcore|none |
Auto Run on Error
(autorunonerror=) |
Poweroff |
None| Powercycle| Poweroff
Note -
Powercycle is the default setting on SPARC M5 series servers
and some M7 series servers.
Action to be taken when the host encounters an error that
requires a restart.
None - No action is
taken if a fatal error is encountered. Powercycle - The host is power cycled if a fatal error
is encountered. Poweroff (default) - The host is powered off if
a fatal error is encountered.
CLI Syntax for Auto Run on Error:
set /HOST autorunonerror=none|powercycle|poweroff
Note - For earlier Oracle SPARC servers, like the T-3 Series
servers, the properties for autorunonerror=true|false.
When set to true,
the host is power cycled if a fatal error is encountered. When set
to false (default),
the host is powered off if a fatal error is encountered. |
Boot Timeout
(boottimeout=) |
0, timer disabled |
Integer between 0 and 36000 seconds
Set a timeout value for the boot timer on the SPARC server.
CLI Syntax for Boot Timeout:
set /HOST boottimeout=0
to 360000 |
Boot Restart Policy
(bootrestart=) |
None, policy disabled |
None|Reset
Set to instruct Oracle ILOM whether to restart the SPARC server
if the system times out.
CLI Syntax for Boot Restart Policy:
set /HOST bootrestart=reset|none |
Max Boot Fails Allowed
(maxbootfails=) |
3 attempts |
Integer between 0 and 10000 attempts.
Set the maximum number of attempts allowed if the Oracle Solaris
boot process fails.
If the host does not boot successfully within the number of
tries indicated by max boot fail, the host is powered off or power
cycled (depending upon the setting of boot fail recovery). In either
case, boot timeout is set to 0 (zero seconds), disabling further attempts
to restart the host.
CLI Syntax for Max Boot Fails Allowed:
set /HOST maxbootfails=0
to 10000 |
Boot Fail Recovery
(bootfailrecovery=) |
Poweroff |
Powercycle |Poweroff | None
Set this property to instruct Oracle ILOM which action to
take if the boot process is unsuccessful after reaching the maximum
number of boot attempts.
Poweroff (default) – Oracle
ILOM powers off the SPARC server after reaching the maximum boot attempts
allowed. Powercycle – Oracle ILOM power cycles the SPARC
server after reaching the maximum boot attempts allowed. None - The Boot Fail Recovery property is disabled.
CLI Syntax for Boot Fail Recovery:
set /HOST bootfailrecovery=off|none|powercycle |
