lent) or a VGA monitor.
5.2 Invoking the SRM Console
You can invoke the SRM console at power-up or restart, after a system
failure, or from RMC. Once you invoke SRM, you enter commands at
the console prompt, P00>>>.
Invoking SRM from Tru64 UNIX, Linux, or OpenVMS
The SRM console is invoked automatically at power-up or after a reset or fail-
ure. The auto_action environment variable is set by default to halt, which
causes the system to stop in the SRM console.
If the operating system is running, invoke the SRM console by shutting down
the operating system. Follow the shutdown procedure described in your operat-
ing system documentation.
You can also force entry to the SRM console if the auto_action environment
variable is set to boot or reset. To force entry, press the Halt button on the
control panel.
CAUTION: A forced halt interrupts the operating system. Applications that are
running may lose data.
Invoking SRM from RMC
To invoke the SRM console from the remote management console, issue the fol-
lowing commands:
RMC> halt in
RMC> reset
These commands are equivalent to pressing the Halt button on the control
panel and then pressing the Reset button. See Chapter 6.
To return to operating system mode, issue the RMC halt out command, then
boot the operating system from the SRM console.
