2.6.2Changing POST Parameters

You can use the web interface or the CLI to change the POST parameters.

2.6.2.1Using the Web Interface to Change POST Parameters

1.From the ILOM web interface, select the Remote Console tab (FIGURE 2-17).

2.Select the Diagnostics Tab.

3.Select the POST settings that you require.

TABLE 2-7describes how the POST settings will execute.

4.Click the Save button.

Note – If you do not have a console window open, you should open one. POST will only display output to a console window, not the web interface.
