Manual System Reset
Use the ILOM service processor reset /SYS command, or start /SYS and
stop /SYS commands, to reset the server. Reaching the ok prompt by performing a
manual system reset or by power-cycling the system always first attempts a graceful
shutdown. If a graceful shutdown is not possible, a forced shutdown is performed.
A forced shutdown results in the loss of all system coherence and state information.
A forced system reset could corrupt the server's file systems, although the fsck
command usually restores them.
Caution – Accessing the ok prompt suspends the Solaris OS. You cannot return to
the Solaris OS without rebooting the OS, for example with the boot command.
