▼ 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.

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

The server module might take several minutes to complete POST and then
displays the ok prompt.
