Sun Microsystems Sun Fire V100 manual To Reset the Server, To Display the ok or kadb Prompt

▼To Reset the Server

●To reset the server, type:

lom> reset

●To perform a limited reset affecting the processor only, type:

lom> reset -x

The -xoption generates the equivalent of an externally initiated reset (XIR) of the server. You must have r-level permission to use this command. (For information about user authorization levels, see “Setting Up LOM Privileges for Named Users” on page 54.) The -xoption takes the server into OpenBootTM PROM mode and causes it to display the ok prompt. It is useful for driver or kernel debugging, because most of the contents of the server’s memory and registers are preserved. The server does not automatically return to the Solaris environment when you reset it using the -xoption. Instead, you must reboot it from the ok prompt.

▼To Display the ok or kadb Prompt

To display the ok or kadb prompt, type the following at the lom> prompt:

lom> break

Note –If the Serial A/LOM port is dedicated to the LOM device, this command will have no effect. For information about dedicating the Serial A/LOM port to the LOM device, see “Separating LOM From the Console on the Serial A/LOM Port” on page 60. To use the break command, you must have c-level LOM user privileges. For more information, see “Setting Up LOM Privileges for Named Users” on page 54.

Controlling the Server’s Booting Behavior

The LOM shell includes a bootmode command:

bootmode [-u][normalforthreset_nvramdiagskip_diag]
