Use the reset command to force the host server to reset immediately. The server reboots using the options you specified (if any) in the bootmode command. Note that reset does not perform a graceful shutdown of the system, and you might lose data. When possible, reset the server through the Solaris operating environment instead.
If the OpenBoot PROM variable auto-boot? is set to false, you might need to boot the server into the Solaris operating environment to resume operation.
At the sc> prompt, type the following command:
sc> reset option(s)
where option(s) is the desired option(s), if any.
| Option | Description |
| -x | Generates the equivalent of an XIR (externally initiated
reset) on the server. When the XIR occurs, the server enters OpenBoot PROM
mode and displays the ok
prompt.
This option is useful for driver or kernel debugging, since most of the contents of the server's memory and registers are preserved. |
| -y | Instructs ALOM to proceed without prompting the following confirmation question: Are you sure you want to power off the system? |
