• -o < no|yes > — Indicates if the server should boot from the device once; must be used with -o.
Use with -m <module> to specify for an individual server, or with -a for all servers.

type. Specify the value as server or switch. Default value is server. Switches must support
Ethernet Management.
• -u root — Indicates that the < password > is supplied for the root user on the server. root is a
constant parameter, the only value that is valid with the ‑u option. Required Username when you
are setting IOA values.
• -m < module > — Species the server you want to congure.
Legal value must be one of the following values:
– server-n where n=1–4
– switch-n where n=1–2.
• -p < password > — Species the password for the root user on the server or switch.
Legal values: For switches, valid passwords are 6 - 32 ASCII characters in length, ranging in value
