HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Routine Management Tasks HP-UX 11i v3 (B3921-90023, September 2010)

NOTE: The -t option (lowercase t) is supported only on
HP 9000 Systems. To change SpeedyBoot settings for all
subsequent boots on an HP Integrity Server, use the
pre-boot environment, the EFI shell. See “Configuring
Boot-Time System Tests from the EFI Shell (HP Integrity
Servers Only)” (page 75) for details.
-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 us start off in the default state (CEC is not supported in this example system, so its
default is off, and it cannot 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

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
