The Boot Console Interface Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags The auto boot and auto search flags are variables stored in your system’s nonvolatile memory. (Nonvolatile memory retains its contents even after power is turned off.) If you reset these flags to new values, the change takes effect the next time you reboot the workstation. The auto boot flag boots the operating system whenever your workstation is turned on.
The Boot Console Interface Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags The auto search command searches for devices in the following order: Primary boot path (can be set by the user) Alternate boot path (can be set by the user) PCI 1 through PCI 4 (plug-in interface cards) Low-voltage differential SCSI (built-in) LAN (built-in) IDE (built-in) Chapter 5 177
The Boot Console Interface Displaying and Setting the Security Mode Displaying and Setting the Security Mode The secure flag is a variable stored in non-volatile memory. (Non-volatile memory retains its contents even after power is turned off.) If you reset this flag to a new value, the change takes effect the next time you reboot the workstation. When the secure flag is set to on, auto boot and auto search are enabled and cannot be stopped.
The Boot Console Interface Displaying and Setting the Fastboot Mode Displaying and Setting the Fastboot Mode When fastboot is enabled (set to on), your system does a quick check of the memory and skips I/O interface testing during its power-on self tests. This enables your system to complete its boot process quicker. The default factory setting is for fastboot to be enabled (set to on). Note that fastboot can be set using the Boot Console Interface’s Configuration Menu.
The Boot Console Interface Displaying the LAN Station Address Displaying the LAN Station Address It is sometimes necessary to supply the LAN station address of your workstation to other users. For example, if your workstation is to become a member of a cluster, the cluster administrator needs to know your LAN station address in order to add your workstation to the cluster. Note that your LAN station address can be determined using the Boot Console Interface’s Information Menu.
The Boot Console Interface Displaying System Information Displaying System Information The all command allows you to display the system’s processor revision and speed, cache size, memory size, flag settings, and the boot and console paths.
