Other OBP Environment Variables
A.1
configuration-policy
If a hardware fault is detected during boot-up, the system console detaches the target
hardware and continues to boot up the system. This process is called a degraded
process. The faulty hardware can be specified in components or in system boards.
The specification can be changed by changing the configuration-policy value, an OBP
environment variable.
Table A.1 The values of configuration-policy and degraded unit actions
Configuration-policy value

Value of configuration-policy in the main unit is set to component.
To change or check this value, enter the command below at the OBP "ok" prompt.
• To use as the check command
ok printenv configuration-policy
l Indicates when degraded unit is component basis.
configuration-policy=component
l Indicates when degraded unit is system board basis
configuration-policy=board
l Indicates when unit is set to stop boot-up process without degradation
configuration-policy=system
