If you do not plan to use the preinstalled OS, use this procedure to prevent the server from
booting from the preinstalled OS.
1. Prepare the appropriate boot media according to your installation method.
There are many methods by which you can install the OS. For example, you can boot and install
the OS from external media or from another server on the network. For more information, refer
to Installing Oracle Solaris 11 Systems , comparing installation options at:

interface on the server:
a. In a browser on the same network as the system, type the IP address of the
SPM.
b. Log in to Oracle ILOM by typing your user name and password.
3. In the Oracle ILOM web interface, in the left navigation pane, choose Host
Management -> Host Boot Mode.
