PROM to wait for operator intervention when the inventory checker notices
a problem. You can configure the system so that it continues to boot in spite
of nonterminal failures by setting the nonstop environment variable (see the
"Environment Variables" section that follows).
Because the PROM's hardware inventory checker cannot detect the
difference between missing and broken hardware, you must explicitly
update the system's hardware inventory whenever you change the system
configuration. Update the hardware inventory as follows:
1. Enter the PROM Command Monitor by selecting the "Enter Command
Monitor" option from the PROM menu.
2. When the PROM Command Monitor prompt (>>) is displayed, type
and press
update <Enter>
current hardware configuration is correct.
3. Type and press
reset
If you see error messages when there have been no modifications to the
system's hardware inventory, you may be experiencing a component failure.
Call your service provider and do not update the hardware inventory until
a field engineer has examined the system.
