## Verify the System Configuration PROM

The steps described below can be performed whenever you want to verify that the System Configuration PROM can be read by the SP and by the host.

1. Power cycle the host and, it boots up, watch for the banner display.

   The Ethernet address and Host ID values are read from the System Configuration PROM. This verifies that the Oracle ILOM and the host can read the System Configuration PROM.

       #********.Ethernet address *:**:**:**:**:**, Host ID: ********
       .

       .

2. For additional verification, run specific commands to display data stored in the System Configuration PROM.

   - Use the Oracle ILOM `show` command to display the MAC address:

         -> show /HOST macaddress
           /HOST
             Properties:
             macaddress = **:**:**:**:**:**

   - Use Oracle Solaris OS commands to display the `hostid` and Ethernet address:

         # hostid
         8534299c

         # ifconfig -a
         lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
                 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
         e1000g0: flags=201004843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index 2
                 inet 10.6.88.150 netmask fffffe00 broadcast 10.6.89.255
                 ether *:**:**:**:**:**
