Reach a State to Install a Fresh OS (Oracle ILOM
Web Interface)
If you do not plan to use the preinstalled OS, use this procedure to prevent the server from
booting from the preinstalled OS.
1.
Prepare the appropriate boot media according to your installation method.
There are many methods by which you can install the OS. For example, you can boot and install
the OS from DVD media or from another server on the network.
For more information about the methods, refer to
Installing Oracle Solaris 11 Systems
,
comparing installation options at:
http://www.oracle.com/goto/solaris11/docs
2.
If you have not done so, perform these tasks to access the Oracle ILOM web
interface on the server.
a.
In a browser on the same network as the system, type the IP address.
b.
Log in to Oracle ILOM by typing your user name and password.
3.
In the Oracle ILOM web interface, in the left navigation pane, choose Host
Management → Host Boot Mode.
The Host Boot Mode page is displayed.
4.
Apply these changes to the Host Boot Mode Settings.
a.
For State, select: Reset NVRAM.
This setting applies a one-time NVRAM (OpenBoot) change based on the script setting,
then resets the NVRAM to default settings on the next host reset.
b.
For Script, type:
setenv auto-boot? false
This setting configures the host to stop at the
ok
prompt instead of automatically booting
the preinstalled OS.
c.
Click Save.
Note -
You have 10 minutes to perform the next step. After 10 minutes, the state is
automatically returned to normal.
