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 http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/vm/documentation/index.html.
Refer to Server Administration, accessing Oracle ILOM.
Power on the server – Use one of these methods:
From the Oracle ILOM web interface Summary Information page, click Turn On for the Power State in the Actions panel.
From the Oracle ILOM CLI, type:
-> start /System
Restart the server – Use one of these methods:
From the Oracle ILOM web interface, navigate to Host Management → Power Control and select Reset from the Select Action drop-down menu. Then click Save and OK.
From the Oracle ILOM CLI, type:

The server starts the boot process.
From the Oracle ILOM web interface
Navigate to the System Information → Summary page, click Launch for Remote Console in the Actions panel. Then click Turn On for the Power State.
From the Oracle ILOM CLI

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.
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.
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.
