HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Routine Management Tasks

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
---- ------- --------- ------- ---------
all off partial partial off
SELFTESTS off yes on off
early_cpu off yes on off
late_cpu off yes on off
FASTBOOT off yes on off
full_memory off yes on off
PDH off yes on off
CEC off no off off
Now, let’s change the previous to set the normal boot to do only the late_cpu and
the full_memory tests, skipping the slower early_cpu tests and the PDH tests:
# setboot -t late_cpu=on -t full_memory=on -v
Primary bootpath : 10/0.0.0
Alternate bootpath : 10/12/5.0.0
