sequent reboots.

setboot -T all=off

WARNINGS

The setboot command fails under the following circumstances:

• The number of writes to the stable storage exceeds the number allowed by the architecture implemen-

tation.

• Hardware failure.

• The implementation does not have memory for the alternate boot path, in which case, this variable is

neither readable nor writable.

The interpretation of Autoboot and Autosearch has changed for systems that support hardware parti-

tions. The ﬁrmware interprets the bits in combination and not as individualbits as done before. In order

to provide the traditional behaviour of setboot, the user input for the autoboot and autosearch ﬂags is

internally mapped to the right combination to achieve the desired behaviour. As a side effect, when the

user issues the

setboot command without any options to get a display of the current settings, he will

be displayed the new mapped values for autoboot and autosearch. The user may not be able to always

see the values which he had initially set using -b or -s options.

To make full use of the new boot device conﬁguration features available on the systems which support

hardware partitions, please use the pf command from the boot console handler.

DEPENDENCIES

If SpeedyBoot is not installed on a system, options -v, -t, and -T

will produce a diagnostic error.
