Under these conditions, the server module displays these error message and you are
unable to reboot from the device.
Installing boot information
WARNING: Could not update system for automatic rebooting
On previous servers and server modules, the OBP diag-device parameter used to
set the new device path to the boot device when the diag-switch? parameter was
set to true. On SPARC and Netra SPARC T4 servers and server modules, the
diag-device parameter is no longer supported, and the Oracle Solaris OS installer
warns that setting the OBP boot-device parameter is not possible.
Workaround: From the Oracle ILOM prompt, set the OBP diag-switch? parameter
to false.
-> set /HOST/bootmode script="setenv diag-switch? false"
Alternatively, you can set this parameter at the OBP ok prompt.
ok setenv diag-switch? false
