Obtain the OpenBoot Prompt (Oracle ILOM Web Interface)

Use this procedure when the host is powered down, and you want to get to the ok prompt when the host is powered on.

1. Log in to Oracle ILOM.

   See Log In to Oracle ILOM.

2. In the Oracle ILOM web interface, in the left navigation pane, choose Host Management → Host Boot Mode.

   The Host Boot Mode page is displayed.

3. For Script, type: setenv auto-boot? false

   This setting configures the host to stop at the OpenBoot prompt instead of automatically booting the preinstalled OS.

   Click Save to save this new setting.

4. In the left navigation panel, choose Host Management → Power Control.
5. Choose Reset from the pull-down menu, and click Save.
6. In the left navigation panel, choose Remote Control → Redirection.
7. Select Use Serial Redirection, and click Launch Remote Console.

   As the host resets, messages are displayed in the serial console. The OpenBoot prompt is displayed when the reset activity completes.
