System Configuration and Setup 6-35
6.8 Setting SRM Security
The set password and set secure commands set SRM security. The
login command turns off security for the current session. The clear
password command returns the system to user mode.
The SRM console has two modes, user mode and secure mode.
•
User mode allows you to use all SRM console commands. User mode is the
default mode.
•
Secure mode allows you to use only the boot and continue commands. The
boot command cannot take command-line parameters when the console is
in secure mode. The console boots the operating system using the environ-
ment variables stored in NVRAM (boot_file, bootdef_dev, boot_flags).
