Access the OpenBoot CLI (Powered Off)

Language:

Use this procedure when the host status is Powered Off.

This procedure assumes that you performed Identify a Method to Get to the OpenBoot CLI, and you are still logged into Oracle ILOM.

Note - The Oracle ILOM CLI examples in this section are for a single PDomain system. For multiple domain systems, replace /HOST with /HOSTx, where x is the PDomain number.

Temporarily change the auto-boot? parameter to false.
For example:
```
-> set /HOST/bootmode script=”setenv auto-boot? false”
```
This command temporarily prevents the OS from booting before you reach the OpenBoot prompt. This change applies only to a single start, and expires in 10 minutes if the power is not started.
Start the virtual machine.
- Example of starting a VM with a single PDomain:
```
-> start /System
```
- Example of starting a VM with multiple PDomains:
```
-> start /HOSTx
```
  Where x is the PDomain number.
If you are prompted to login, select login and enter the OpenBoot password.
The ok prompt is displayed indicating that you are accessing the OpenBoot CLI.
