Reset Power to Service Processor

On occasion the server SP needs to be reset to complete an update or to clear an error state. The SP reset operation is similar to resetting a PC where all active processes are terminated and the system reboots.

Resetting the power on a server SP will automatically disconnect any current Oracle ILOM sessions and render the service processor unmanageable until the reset process is complete. However, the host operating system on a server is not affected when the SP is reset.

System administrators can reset the server SP from the web interface or the CLI. For further SP reset instructions, see the following procedure.
