Modify the Boot Order (BIOS)
Viewing and Modifying Boot Properties 49
By default, the boot order list is populated only with devices detected on the server that
support the current boot mode. However, if you enable the Persistent Boot Support feature,
every physical slot, network port, and disk drive bay in the server is shown in the boot order
list. For more information about Persistent Boot Support, see “Enabling Persistent Boot
Support” on page 52.
To change the order of devices in the boot order list, see the following procedures:
■
“Modify the Boot Order (BIOS)” on page 49
■
“Set Temporary Next Boot Device (Oracle ILOM)” on page 50
