Use this procedure to configure OpenBoot so that a host reset or power on either attempts to boot automatically, or not, when Oracle Solaris is running in the host. This change does not affect the reboot command. If you issue the reboot command, or if the Oracle Solaris OS panics and reboots, the host will continue the boot process.
You must have the console role (c) and the admin role (a) to complete this task.
See Start a Host.
true – (Default) The host automatically attempts to boot from the devices specified in boot-device if you configured the boot-device variable and you enabled the Oracle ILOM auto-boot property.
false – The host does not automatically boot. You can boot the host manually.
For example:
# eeprom auto-boot?=false
# eeprom auto-boot? auto-boot?=false
