Reach a State to Install a Fresh OS (Oracle ILOM
CLI)
If you do not plan to use the preinstalled OS use this procedure to prevent the server module
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 these Oracle Solaris document sections:

2.
From Oracle ILOM, set the OBP
auto-boot
parameter to
false
.
->
set /HOST/bootmode script="setenv auto-boot? false"
This setting prevents the server module from booting from the preinstalled OS. When you use
bootmode
, the change applies only to a single boot and expires in 10 minutes if the power on the
host is not reset.
3.
When you are ready to initiate the OS installation, reset the host.
->
reset /System
Are you sure you want to reset /System (y/n)?
y
Performing reset on /System
4.
Switch communication to the server module host.
->
start /HOST/console
Are you sure you want to start /HOST/console (y/n)?
y
Serial console started. To stop, type #.
The server module might take several minutes to complete POST and then displays the
ok
prompt.
5.
Boot from the appropriate boot media for your installation method.
For more information, refer to the Oracle Solaris installation guide that corresponds to your
desired release and installation method.
