auto_action
Specifies the action the console takes any time the system powers up, fails, or resets.
When the setting involves autoboot, the system boots from the default boot device
specified by the value of the bootdef_dev environment variable. The syntax is:
set auto_action value
The options for value are:
halt The system remains in console mode after power-up or a system crash.
boot The system boots automatically when it is turned on and halts after a
system failure.
restart The system boots automatically when it is turned on or after it fails.
NOTE: If a halt assertion exists, the console ignores the auto_action setting and
halts at the SRM console. See Section 3.12 for information on halt
assertion.
bootdef_dev
The bootdef_dev environment variable specifies one or more devices for booting the
operating system. When more than one device is listed, the system searches in the
order listed and boots from the first device with operating system software. The syntax
is:
set bootdef_dev boot_device
boot_device The name of the device on which the system software has been
loaded. To specify more than one device, separate the names with
commas. Enter the command show bootdef_dev to display the
current default boot device. Enter the command show device for a
list of all devices in the system.
