3.
In the Oracle ILOM web interface, in the left navigation pane, choose Host
Management > Host Boot Mode.
The Host Boot Mode page is displayed.
4.
Apply these changes to the Host Boot Mode Settings:
a.
For State, select: Reset NVRAM
This setting applies a one-time NVRAM (OpenBoot) change based on the script setting,
then resets the NVRAM to default settings on the next host reset.
b.
For Script, type: setenv auto-boot? false
This setting configures the host to stop at the ok prompt instead of automatically booting
the preinstalled OS.
c.
Click Save.
Note - You have 10 minutes to perform the next step. After 10 minutes, the state is
automatically returned to normal.

In the left navigation panel, click on Host Management > Power Control.

Select Reset from the pull-down menu, and click Save.
7.
In the left navigation panel, click on Remote Control > Redirection.
8.
Select Use Serial Redirection, and click Launch Remote Console.
As the host resets, messages are displayed in the serial console. The reset activity takes a few
minutes to complete. When the ok prompt is displayed, continue to the next step.
9.
At the ok prompt, boot from the appropriate boot media for your installation
method.
