Example 5-9 Enabling the Autoboot Flag Using the BCH
Main Menu: Enter Command > co au bo on
TIP The above command is a shortcut for entering a command that actually resides
in the BCH configuration menu (the co portion of the command indicates that
the next part of the command is from the configuration menu).
The au portion of the above command is shorthand for the “auto” command
within the configuration menu.
The bo portion of the above command is shorthand for the “boot” argument to
the auto command in the configuration menu which indicates the autoboot flag.
And the on portion of the above command says you want the autoboot flag
enabled.
Therefore, the shorthand command replaces the following two commands:
Main Menu: Enter Command > co
Configuration Menu: Enter Command > auto boot on
Example 5-10 Disabling the Autoboot Flag Using the BCH
Main Menu: Enter Command > co au bo off
Example 5-11 Enabling the Autosearch Flag Using the BCH
Main Menu: Enter Command > co au sea on
Example 5-12 Disabling the Autosearch Flag Using the BCH
Main Menu: Enter Command > co au sea off
Setting Autoboot and Autosearch Flags Using the HP-UX setboot Command
You can set the values of the autoboot and autosearch flags from a running
HP-UX system. To do this, use the setboot command (see setboot (1M) for
complete details).
Example 5-13 Enabling the Autoboot Flag Using setboot
/usr/sbin/setboot -b on
