The Oracle ILOM preboot menu is a utility
that can be used to fix problems with Oracle
ILOM that cannot be fixed while it is
running. It allows you to interrupt the Oracle
ILOM boot process, configure settings, then
continue booting Oracle ILOM. Among
other things, it allows you to reset the Oracle
ILOM root password to factory defaults,
restore Oracle ILOM access to the serial port.

Resetting the Service Processor
There are times when you might need to reset the service processor (such as after a firmware
update). You can reset the server node SP using Oracle ILOM without affecting the host OS.
However, this action disconnects your current Oracle ILOM session and will not allow any new
sessions to be initiated until the reset has completed.
To reset the SP using the Oracle ILOM web interface or the CLI, see Oracle Integrated Lights
Out Manager (ILOM) Documentation Library:
