Set Next Boot Device (Oracle ILOM)
Set Next Boot Device (Oracle ILOM)
You can use Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) to set the next boot device on
your server. Setting the next boot device in Oracle ILOM causes your server to boot from the
selected device on the next power reset. For subsequent power resets, the server automatically
reverts to booting from the boot order list.
The following procedure provides both web and command-line interface (CLI) instructions for
the server service processor (SP).
