SPARC T7-4 Server Service Manual

Configure POST

1. Log in to Oracle ILOM.

   See Log In to Oracle ILOM (Service).

2. Set the virtual keyswitch to the value that corresponds to the POST configuration you want to run.

   This example sets the virtual keyswitch default_level to min, which configures POST to run according to other parameter values.

   -> set /HOST keyswitch_state=min
   Set default_level to min

   For possible values for the keyswitch_state parameter, type:

   -> show /HOST diag help
   
   /HOST/diag : Manage Host Power On Self Test Diagnostics
   
   Targets:
   
   Properties:
   
   default_level : Diag level in the default cause (no error or hw change)
   default_level : Possible values = off, min, max
   default_level : User role required for set = r
   
   default_verbosity : Diag verbosity in the default cause (no error or hw
   change)
   default_verbosity : Possible values = none, min, normal, max
   default_verbosity : User role required for set = r
   
   error_level : Diag level when running after an error reset
   error_level : Possible values = off, min, max
   error_level : User role required for set = r
   
   error_verbosity : Diag verbosity when running after an error reset
   error_verbosity : Possible values = none, min, normal, max
   error_verbosity : User role required for set = r
   
   hw_change_level : Diag level when running after a hw change
   hw_change_level : Possible values = off, min, max
   hw_change_level : User role required for set = r
   
   hw_change_verbosity : Diag verbosity when running after a hw change
   hw_change_verbosity : Possible values = none, min, normal, max
   hw_change_verbosity : User role required for set = r
   
   ->

   ---

   Note -  Depending on the server configuration, setting the HOST keyswitch_state diagnostics verbosity to none might result in no POST test status displaying on the console for an extended period of time.

   ---

3. You can also set the virtual keyswitch to determine the diagnostic level after an error reset and after a hardware change. To set error_level, to max, and hw_change_level to max, type.

   -> set /HOST/diag error_level=max
   -> set /HOST/diag hw_change_level=max

4. View the current values for settings.

   Example:

   -> show /HOST/diag
   /HOST/diag
      Targets:
    
      Properties:
           error_reset_level = max
           error_reset_verbosity = normal
           hw_change_level = max
           hw_change_verbosity = normal
           level = min
           mode = normal
           power_on_level = max
           power_on_verbosity = normal
           trigger = hw_change error-reset
           verbosity = normal
    
      Commands:
           cd
           set
           show
   ->
