SYSCFG 39
--noraidprompt* NA This option specifies that the BIOS must not prompt for confirmation when
changing the mode of a RAID controller. This option can only be used with
the --embscsiraid or --embscsiraidchb options. Without this option, the user
is prompted during POST to confirm the change of a RAID controller from
RAID(SCSI) to SCSI(RAID). This option is not replicated.
NOTICE: When changing a RAID controller from SCSI to RAID or from
RAID to SCSI, data is lost on the affected hard drives. You do not see the
message warning you of this data loss when using the --noraidprompt
option. To avoid data loss, back up any information on the hard drives
before changing the type of controller used with the drives.
Example:
A:>syscfg --embscsiraid=raid --noraidprompt
embscsiraid=raid
NOTE: The asterisk is not part of the command syntax.
--numlock on, off This option enables or disables the keyboard number lock during POST.
This option is not replicated.
Example:
A:>syscfg --numlock=on
numlock=on
--oldsetuppwd <string> This option is required to set a new setup password when a setup password is
currently set. The setup password locks the BIOS setup screen. The argument
string supplied to this option is the current password. If this password is not
correct, the new setup password is not applied to the system. Generally,
passwords are limited to alphanumeric characters and cannot exceed 32
characters in length. This option is not replicated.
Example:
A:>syscfg --setuppwd=
asetuppassword --oldsetuppwd=
currentpassword
The password has been set. Please use a warm reboot to
apply the password to the system.
