To select a boot mode, select a number and press Enter. The item corresponding to the
selected number toggles from Disabled to Enabled. If the same number is selected
again, the item toggles from Enabled to Disabled. If a boot mode is Enabled, the Boot
mode selected is performed, and the Disabled/Enabled selection is reset to Disabled.
Following is a description for each boot mode:
– Boot to SMS Menu
When enabled, the system boots to the System Management Services (SMS) Menu.
– Service Mode Boot from Saved List
This selection causes the system to boot from the saved service mode boot list (saved
in NVRAM). If the system boots AIX from the disk drive and AIX diagnostics are loaded
on the disk drive, AIX boots to the diagnostics menu.
Using this option to boot the system is the preferred way to run Online diagnostics.
– Service Mode Boot from Default List
This selection is similar to ”Service Mode Boot from Saved List”, except the system
boots from the default boot list that is stored in the system firmware. This is normally
used to try to boot customer diagnostics from the CD–ROM drive.
Using this option to boot the system is the preferred way to run Standalone
diagnostics.
– Boot to Open Firmware
When this selection is enabled, the system boots to the Open Firmware prompt.
