Configuring Boot-Time System Tests - HP Rp7410 - Server - 0 MB RAM Administrator's Manual

Procedure 5-62 Configuring Autoboot Options (HP-UX)
From the HP-UX command line use the setboot -b on or setboot -b off command, to
turn on (enable) or turn off (disable) autoboot.
1. Login to HP-UX running on the nPartition whose autoboot options you want to configure.
2. On HP Integrity servers only, the setboot -b on command enables autoboot, and the
setboot -b off command disables autoboot.
When autoboot is enabled for an nPartition in an HP Integrity server, items in the boot
options list are attempted to be loaded automatically at boot time, starting with the first
item in the boot options list.
3. On HP 9000 servers only, the setboot command configures the boot action for the PRI
boot path.
Configure the PRI boot action for the local nPartition by using the setboot -b Autoboot
-s Autosearch command.
The setboot command supports the following options for setting local nPartition boot
actions:
Autoboot setting for the local nPartition:
-b
-b on to automatically boot the PRI path.
-b off to not boot PRI.
Autosearch setting for the local nPartition:
-s
-s on to attempt to perform the HAA path boot action when PRI is not booted (either
when -b is off, or when PRI fails to boot when -b is on).
-s off to never attempt to perform the HAA action.
For example, to always stop the local nPartition at BCH when booting, issue the setboot
-b off -s off command.

Configuring Boot-Time System Tests

You can configure boot-time system tests (self tests) for an nPartition by using any one of the
following procedures:
• "Configuring Boot-Time System Tests (BCH Menu)" (page 161)
• "Configuring Boot-Time System Tests (EFI Shell)" (page 162)
• "Configuring Boot-Time System Tests (HP-UX B.11.11)" (page 163)
• "Configuring Boot-Time System Tests (HP-UX B.11.23 and HP-UX 11.31)" (page 164)
Procedure 5-63 Configuring Boot-Time System Tests (BCH Menu)
From the BCH Configuration Menu use the FASTBOOT command to configure fast boot settings
for an nPartition. The BCH interface is available only on HP 9000 systems.
1. Access the BCH Main Menu for the nPartition whose boot-time tests you want to configure.
Login to the service processor (MP or GSP) and enter CO to access the Console list. Select
the nPartition console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the BCH Main
Menu (the Main Menu: Enter command or menu> prompt). If at a BCH menu other
than the Main Menu, then enter MA to return to the BCH Main Menu.
2. At the BCH Configuration menu use the FASTBOOT command to list or configure the
nPartition fast boot settings.
Enter FASTBOOT with no arguments to display the current fast boot settings. This lists which
self tests are set to be performed or skipped.
