Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search
Flags
auto boot and auto search are variables stored in your
workstation's nonvolatile memory. If you reset these
flags to a new value, the change takes effect the next
time you reboot the workstation.
auto boot boots the operating system whenever your
workstation is turned on.
To examine the state of the auto boot and auto search
flags, type the following at the prompt:
Configuration Menu: Enter command >
If auto boot is set to on, your workstation automati-
cally attempts to boot the operating system when
turned on. If auto boot is set to off, your workstation
enters the boot administration mode of the boot con-
sole user interface.
The state of the auto search flag determines how your
workstation seeks a boot device during autoboot. If
auto search is set to on, your workstation will search
for other boot devices if the primary boot device is not
available. If auto search is off, your workstation will
default to the boot administration mode if it can't see
the primary boot device.
To change the state of the auto boot or auto search
flags, type the following at the prompt:
