POST Overview

POST is a group of PROM-based tests that run when the server is powered on or when it is

reset. POST checks the basic integrity of the critical hardware components in the server.

You can also set other Oracle ILOM properties to control various other aspects of POST

operations. For example, you can specify the events that cause POST to run, the level of testing
