Specify Parallel Boot Of The Sp And Host; Specify Host Virtual Keyswitch Behavior - Oracle Netra SPARC S7-2 Series Administration Manual

Specify Parallel Boot of the SP and Host

Specify Parallel Boot of the SP and Host
The /SP/policy PARALLEL_BOOT property enables the host to boot and power on in
parallel with the SP. When enabled, parallel booting occurs if an auto-power policy
(HOST_AUTO_POWER_ON or HOST_LAST_POWER_STATE) was on or if a user presses the power
button while the SP is in the process of booting. Oracle ILOM must be running in order to
enable the host to power on in these situations. When this property is set to disabled, the SP
boots first, then the host boots.
At the Oracle ILOM prompt, type:
-> set /SP/policy PARALLEL_BOOT=value
where value can be:
enabled – SP and host boot concurrently.
■
disabled – SP and host boot serially.

Specify Host Virtual Keyswitch Behavior

Use the /HOST keyswitch_state property to control the position of the virtual keyswitch.
At the Oracle ILOM prompt, type:
-> set /HOST keyswitch_state=value
where value can be:
normal – (Default) The server can power itself on and start the boot process.
■
standby – Powers off the host, and disables power on.
■
diag – Host poweron is allowed. This value overrides the settings of /HOST/diag target,
■
resulting in Max POST being executed.
locked – Host poweron is allowed, however, you are prohibited from updating flash devices
■
or setting /HOST send_break_action=break.
