The Boot Console Interface
Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags
Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags
auto boot and auto search are variables stored in your workstation’s non-
volatile memory. (Nonvolatile memory retains its contents even after power
is turned off.) If you reset these flags to new value, the change takes effect
the next time you reboot the workstation.
auto boot boots the operating system whenever your workstation is turned
on.
To examine the state of the auto boot and auto search flags, type the fol-
lowing at the prompt:
Configuration Menu: Enter command >
auto
If auto boot is set to on, your workstation automatically attempts to boot the
operating system when turned on. If auto boot is set to off, your workstation
enters the boot administration mode of the boot console user interface.
The state of the auto search flag determines how your workstation seeks a
boot device during autoboot. If auto search is set to on, your workstation
will search for other boot devices if the primary boot device is not available.
If auto search is off, your workstation will default to the boot administration
mode if it can’t see the primary boot device.
To change the state of the auto boot or auto search flags, type the following
at the prompt:
Configuration Menu: Enter command >
auto boot state
or
Configuration Menu: Enter command >
auto search state
where state is on or off.
