Boot Console Handler Features - HP Visualize J5000 Supplementary Manual

Boot Console Handler Features

There are times when you want to interact directly with the hardware of the J5xxx or
J7xxx workstation before it boots the operating system. These workstations provide a
menu-driven Boot Console Handler that allows you to perform special tasks, display
information, and set certain system parameters, even if the operating system is
unavailable.
Here are some of the things you can do:
• Boot the workstation
• Search for bootable media
• Reset the workstation
• Display and set boot paths
• Display and set the monitor type
• Display memory configuration information
• Display the status of the I/O slots
• Set Auto Boot, Auto Search, and Auto Start
• Display and set Security mode
• Set Fastboot
• Display LAN information
• Display system information
• Display PIM information
NOTE
All of the tasks in the Boot Console Handler should be performed by a system
administrator with superuser (root) login permissions.
