firmware and software extensions allow a superuser to control which
firmware tests are executed by the system during the boot process. Formerly, the
setboot command could only be used to set these firmware tests on a PA platform. Now,
however, setboot has been enhanced to support the setting of a firmware test for the
next boot on the Itanium-based platform.
Impact
With HP-UX 11i v2, you can set the HA alternate path through the setboot command.
You can also set the SpeedyBoot option for the next reboot.
