Setting The Auto Boot And Auto Search Flags - HP Visualize J2240 Service Handbook

Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags

auto boot and auto search are variables stored in your workstation's non-volatile
memory. (Non-volatile memory retains its contents even after power is turned off.) If
you reset these flags to new value, the change takes effect the next time you reboot
the workstation.
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 automatically attempts to boot the operat-
ing system when turned on. If auto boot is set to off, your workstation enters the
boot administration mode of the boot console user interface.
The state of the auto search flag determines how your workstation seeks a boot de-
vice 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 pri-
mary boot device.
To change the state of the auto boot or auto search flags, type the following at the
prompt:
