5.18 Creating a Power-Up Script
The system comes with a special nonvolatile file named “nvram” that is
stored in EEROM. Nvram is a user-created power-up script (set of
commands) that is always invoked during the power-up sequence. Use
the SRM edit command to create or alter the nvram script.
Example 5–17 Editing the Nvram Script
P00>>> edit nvram
editing ‘nvram’
0 bytes read in
*10 set ewa0_protocols bootp
*list
10 set ewa0_protocols bootp
*exit
27 bytes written out to nvram
This example shows how to modify the user-created power-up script, “nvram.”
In this example the script is edited to include a command that allows you to
boot the Tru64 UNIX operating system over the network.
Example 5–18 Clearing the Nvram Script
P00>>> edit nvram
editing ‘nvram’
20 bytes read in
*10
*exit
0 bytes written out to nvram
P00>>>
To clear the script, enter line numbers without any text. This deletes the lines.
