Controlling How POST Runs
The server can be configured for normal, extensive, or no POST execution. You can
also control the level of tests that run, the amount of POST output that is displayed,
and which reset events trigger POST by using ILOM command variables.
The keyswitch_state parameter, when set to diag, overrides all the other ILOM
POST variables.
TABLE: ILOM Parameters Used for POST Configuration on page 26 lists the ILOM
variables used to configure POST. FIGURE: Flowchart of Variables for POST
Configuration on page 20 shows how the variables work together.
Commands:
