Systems
ELOM (Embedded Lights Out Manager) is used on at least the following Sun systems:
- Sun Fire X2200 M2

Host Management
From Managing the Host:
- To power on the host, enter the following command:
set /SP/SystemInfo/CtrlInfo PowerCtrl=on
- To power off the host gracefully, enter the following command:
set /SP/SystemInfo/CtrlInfo PowerCtrl=gracefuloff
- To power off the host forcefully, enter the following command:
set /SP/SystemInfo/CtrlInfo PowerCtrl=forceoff
- To reset the host, enter the following command:
set /SP/SystemInfo/CtrlInfo PowerCtrl=reset

Network Boot
The first time you boot a system with ELOM, it will attempt a network boot because there is no OS on its hard disks. However, once an OS is installed, a network boot can be difficult from the ssh console.
I seem to be unable to send an F12 via the ssh console to boot the system from the network. As a workaround, press F3 during boot to bring up a menu of boot devices (i.e., BBS POPUP) and select a network boot device.
Also, I recommend setting Quick Boot to Disabled within Boot/Boot Settings Configuration to give you more time to press the function keys during bootup.
