Configuring Boot-Time System Tests from the BCH Menu (HP 9000 Systems Only)
From the BCH Configuration Menu use the FASTBOOT command to configure
SpeedyBoot settings for a system (or nPartition).
1. Access the system console for your system or nPartition and reset the partition to
return to the BCH Main Menu.
After powering on or resetting your computer (or nPartition) take control of the
boot process by hitting any key on the console keyboard so that
autoboot/autosearch will not boot the system automatically (if they are
currently enabled). The Boot Console Handler will display its main menu.
2. At the BCH Main Menu, enter the co command to enter the BCH Configuration
Menu.
3. At the BCH Configuration Menu use the FASTBOOT command to list or configure
the SpeedyBoot settings.
Enter FASTBOOT with no arguments to display the current SpeedyBoot settings
for your system or nPartition.
NOTE: HP recommends that all self tests be performed, but recognizes the need
to have your system available as quickly as possible.
To enable all tests, use the FASTBOOT RUN command at the BCH Configuration
menu.
To disable an individual test, enter: FASTBOOT test SKIP, where test is the
name of the self test (“PDH”, “EARLY”, or “LATE”).
To enable an individual test, enter: FASTBOOT test RUN.
For details on setting self tests, enter: HELP FASTBOOT at the BCH Configuration
Menu
4. Repeat Step 3 until the settings reflect your desired settings, then reboot your
system.
