After configuring the network addresses for the SP components, power on each PDomain for the first time at the Oracle ILOM prompt. This task requires two connections to the Active SP, one using a serial connection and another using a network connection.
$ ssh root@Active-SP-IP-address
Replace Active-SP-IP-address with the Active SP IP address you set in Setting Oracle ILOM Network Addresses. When prompted, type the default changeme root password to log in.
Refer to the Oracle ILOM Administrator's Guide for Configuration and Maintenance, configuring local user accounts, for more information.
-> start /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_x/HOST/console Are you sure you want to start /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_x/HOST/console (y/n) y
Replace x with the PDomain number. For example, use PDomain_0 for PDomain 0.
-> start /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_x/HOST Are you sure you want to start /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_x/HOST (y/n) y
Replace x with the PDomain number.
The PDomain initialization can take time to complete.
-> show /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_x/HOST status
Replace x with the PDomain number.
You can type this command at regular intervals (for example, every 10 minutes) to check the status of the initialization.
Once the POST diagnostics have completed, the console displays the OpenBoot banner and a OpenBoot boot-device variable message. You must set this variable before continuing with the installation. The following example is from a SPARC M7-8 server.
SPARC M7-8, No Keyboard Copyright (c) 1998, 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. OpenBoot 4.37.3.a, 1.8632 TB memory available, Serial #109999304. Ethernet address 0:10:e0:99:99:64, Host ID: 8699998. Evaluating: No viable default device found in boot-device variable. ok
