Page 67: Led Warning Conditions - Dds-Dc Drive
LED Warning Conditions – DDS-DC Drive The following sections describe actions to take if the LEDs indicate a warning condition. High Humidity If the LEDs display the high humidity signal, the humidity is too high and the drive does not perform any operations until the humidity drops.
Page 68: Leds - Dds-2
LEDs – DDS-2 The front panel has two colored LEDs: the Tape Light and the Clean/ Attention Light. The Tape Light flashes green to show activity (load- ing, unloading, reading, and writing). Steady green means a cartridge is loaded. The Clean/Attention Light flashes amber to indicate head cleaning is needed or a cartridge is near the end of its life.
Page 69: Data Cassettes
Data Cassettes Media Life HP DDS data cassettes are currently specified to 2000 passes over any part of the tape under optimal environmental conditions (50% relative humidity, 22 degrees C). During a tape operation, any one area of the tape may have multiple passes over the heads. This trans- lates into approximately 200 to 300 backups or restores.
Page 70: Media Restrictions
Media Restrictions If you interchange media between other HP workstation DDS tape drives, note that data cassettes with compressed data can only be read by tape drives that have data compression capabilities. This includes data cassettes that contain both compressed and noncompressed data.

The Boot Console Interface This appendix describes the different features of the boot console in- terface and how to use them. It presents the information in the follow- ing sections: Boot console interface features Accessing the boot console interface Booting your workstation Searching for bootable media Resetting your workstation Displaying and setting paths...
Page 213: Boot Console Interface Features
Boot Console Interface Features There are times when you want to interact directly with the hardware of your workstation before it boots the operating system. Your workstation provides a menu–driven boot console interface that al- lows you to perform special tasks, display information, and set certain system parameters, even if the operating system is unavailable.

Page 218: Accessing The Boot Console Interface
Press the power switch on the front panel of the system unit. There is no need to manually shut down the HP–UX operating system on your workstation before powering it off. When you turn off the power switch, your workstation automatically shuts down the operating system before termi- nating the power.
Page 219 NOTICE: The Main Menu of the boot console appears. If you are using a power–saving monitor, you will have less than 10 seconds from the time this message appears to press a key. Press a key. You will then see the message: Boot terminated...
Page 220: Booting Your Workstation
Booting Your Workstation Usually, you start your workstation by turning it on and waiting for HP–UX to boot automatically. However, you may not always want the usual sequence to occur. For example, you may want to start your workstation from an operat- ing system that is stored on a device that is different from your usual boot device.
Page 221 ISL is the program that actually controls the loading of the operating system. By interacting with ISL, you can choose to load an alternate version of the HP–UX operating system. If you do not want ISL to be loaded, you must enter N.

Page 242: Setting The Auto Boot And Auto Search Flags
Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags auto boot and auto search are variables stored in your workstation’s nonvolatile memory. (Nonvolatile 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.
Page 243 Autosearch searches for devices in the following order: NOTICE: D-32 Primary boot path Alternate boot path Built–in fast, wide SCSI devices Built–in single–ended SCSI devices Built–in LAN bootp servers Fast wide SCSI adapter option cards installed in the option slots are not searched unless they are referenced by the primary or alternate boot paths.
Page 244: Displaying And Setting The Security Mode
Displaying and Setting the Security Mode The SECure flag is a variable stored in non–volatile memory. (Non– volitalmemory 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.
Page 245: Displaying And Setting The Fastboot Mode
Displaying and Setting the Fastboot Mode When fastboot is enabled (set to on), your workstation does a quick check of the memory and skips I/O interface testing during its power– on self tests. This enables your workstation to complete its boot pro- cess quicker.
Page 246: Displaying The Lan Station Address
Displaying the LAN Station Address It is sometimes necessary to supply a LAN station address of your workstation to other users. For example, if your workstation is to be- come a member of a cluster, the cluster administrator needs to know your LAN station address in order to add your workstation to the cluster.
