2. Type:
sc> bootmode skip_diag
This command temporarily configures the system to skip its firmware-based
diagnostic tests, regardless of how the OpenBoot configuration variables are set.
3. Within 10 minutes, power cycle the system. Type:
sc> poweroff
Are you sure you want to power off the system [y/n]? y
sc> poweron
You must execute the above commands within 10 minutes of using ALOM to change
the boot mode. Ten minutes after you issue the ALOM bootmode command, the
system reverts back to its default boot mode as governed by the current settings of
OpenBoot configuration variables, including diag-switch, post-trigger, and
obdiag-trigger.
For more information about OpenBoot configuration variables and how they affect
diagnostics, see "Controlling POST Diagnostics" on page 13.
What Next
If you suspect an incompatible or corrupted firmware image caused the problems
you observed with firmware diagnostics, you should now restore the system
firmware to a reliable state.
For more information about restoring the system firmware, contact your authorized
service provider.
