Administering a System: Booting and Shutdown
Booting Systems
Chapter 5510
-T testname = value
Change the value for the test testname for the next
system boot only. The changes are reflected in the Next
Boot column of the SpeedyBoot table. The change does
not modify nonvolatile memory, so the permanent
values, shown in the Current column, are restored
after the boot. testname and value are the same as for
the -t option.
Using setboot to Configure SpeedyBoot Settings
The following extended example shows the results of various changes on
the SpeedyBoot status table. It is a good idea to include the -v option in
each command so that the table is displayed after the changes are made.
Let’s start off in the default state (CEC is not supported in this example
system, so its default is off, and it can’t be changed.)
# setboot -t all=default -v
Primary bootpath : 10/0.0.0
Alternate bootpath : 10/12/5.0.0
Autoboot is ON (enabled)
Autosearch is OFF (disabled)
TEST CURRENT SUPPORTED DEFAULT NEXT BOOT
---- ------- --------- ------- ---------
all partial partial partial partial
SELFTESTS on yes on on
early_cpu on yes on on
late_cpu on yes on on
FASTBOOT on yes on on
full_memory on yes on on
PDH on yes on on
CEC off no off off
If you have to boot the system a number of times due to some sort of
installation or update, you can speed it up if you turn all the tests off:
# setboot -t all=off -v
Primary bootpath : 10/0.0.0
Alternate bootpath : 10/12/5.0.0
Autoboot is ON (enabled)
Autosearch is OFF (disabled)
TEST CURRENT SUPPORTED DEFAULT NEXT BOOT
