Displaying and Setting the Security Mode

The secure flag is a variable stored in non-volatile memory. (Non-volatile memory retains
its contents even after power is turned off.) If you reset this flag to a new value, the change
takes effect the next time you reboot the workstation.
When the secure flag is set to on, auto boot and auto search are enabled and cannot be
stopped. The system boots from the default boot paths regardless of user intervention.
Note that the secure command must be executed from within the Boot Console Handler.
To get into the Boot Console Handler, follow the procedure in the section "Accessing the
Boot Console Handler" earlier in this chapter. Once the Main Menu is present, you can
type the following command at the prompt and press
Main Menu: Enter command > configuration
From the Configuration Menu, you can execute the secure command and preform the
subsequent tasks in this section.
To display the current setting for the secure flag, type the following command at the
prompt and press
Enter
Configuration Menu: Enter command > secure
To set the secure flag on, type the following command at the prompt and press
Configuration Menu: Enter command > secure on
To set the secure flag off, you need to disconnect the boot disk to interrupt the boot-up
sequence and force the prompt to the Boot Console Handler. Next, type the following
command at the prompt and press
Configuration Menu: Enter command > secure off
