OpenBoot Emergency Procedures
The introduction of Universal Serial Bus (USB) keyboards with the newest systems
has made it necessary to change some of the OpenBoot emergency procedures.
Specifically, the
Stop-N
,
Stop-D
, and
Stop-F
commands that were available on
systems with non-USB keyboards are not supported on systems that use USB
keyboards, such as the SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server. If you are familiar with the
earlier (non-USB) keyboard functionality, this section describes the analogous
OpenBoot emergency procedures available in newer systems that use USB
keyboards.
OpenBoot Emergency Procedures for SPARC
Enterprise T2000 Systems
The following sections describe how to perform the functions of the Stop commands
on systems that use USB keyboards, such as the SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server
server. These same functions are available through Advanced Lights Out Manager
(ALOM) system controller software.
Stop-A Functionality
Stop-A (Abort) key sequence works the same as it does on systems with standard
keyboards, except that it does not work during the first few seconds after the server
is reset. In addition, you can issue the ALOM CMT
break
command. For more
information, see
.
Stop-N Functionality
Stop-N functionality is not available. However, the Stop-N functionality can be
closely emulated by completing the following steps, provided the system console is
configured to be accessible using either the serial management port or the network
management port.
