Displaying and Setting the Monitor Type

Your system ships from the factory preset to use a monitor with a specific resolution
and frequency. If you replace your workstation's monitor with a different type of
monitor, you must reconfigure your workstation to support the new monitor.

The Monitor Command

The monitor command lets you change your workstation's graphics configuration.
This command is available in both the Information and Configuration Menus of the
boot console interface, however when you use it in the Information Menu, monitor
only displays the current graphics and console information. You must use monitor in
the Configuration Menu to set a monitor type.
The correct usage for this command is:
monitor < graphics_path >
where valid graphics_path parameters are:
9–6 Boot Console
Enter
path path_type
Enter
path primary
path path_type path
path pri scsi.6.0
