Invoking the SRM Console
When a system is powered up, the SRM console runs and either remains
running or passes control to another console or an operating system. If the
system is already running, invoke the SRM console by shutting down the
operating system or by pressing the Halt button on the control panel.
Do one of the following steps to invoke the SRM console mode:
■ Shut down the operating system according to the procedure described in
your operating system documentation. The SRM console prompt,
P00>>>, will be displayed.
■ Press the Halt button on the control panel, if your system is running
either OpenVMS, Tru64 UNIX, or Linux. The console prompt,
P00>>>, will be displayed.
After you have performed tasks in the console mode, you must boot the
operating system with the boot command to go back to the operating mode.
