5.1.2 Switching Between Interfaces
For a few procedures it is necessary to switch from one console interface to the
other.
• The test command is run from the SRM interface.
• The EISA Configuration Utility (ECU) and the RAID Configuration Utility
(RCU) are run from the ARC interface.
Switching from SRM to ARC
Two SRM console commands are used to switch to the ARC console:
• The arc command loads the ARC firmware and switches to the ARC menu
interface.
• The ecu command loads the ARC firmware and then boots the ECU diskette.
Switching from ARC to SRM
Switch from the ARC console to the SRM console as follows:
1. From the Boot menu, select the Supplementary menu.
2. From the Supplementary menu, select ‘‘Set up the system.’’
3. From the Setup menu, select ‘‘Switch to OpenVMS or OSF console.’’
4. Select your operating system, then press enter on ‘‘Setup menu.’’
5. When the ‘‘Power-cycle the system to implement the change’’ message is
displayed, press the Reset button. Once the console firmware is loaded and
the system is initialized, the SRM console prompt, >>> , is displayed.
5.1.3 Verifying Configuration: ARC Menu Options for Windows
NT
The following ARC menu options are used for verifying system configuration on
Windows NT systems:
• Display hardware configuration (Section 5.1.3.1)—Lists the ARC device
names for devices installed in the system.
• Set default environment variables (Section 5.1.3.2)—Allows you to select
