The Boot Console Interface
Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search and Auto Start Flags
Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search and Auto Start
Flags
The auto boot, auto search, and auto start flags are variables stored in
your workstation’s nonvolatile memory. (Nonvolatile memory retains its
contents even after power is turned off.) If you reset these flags to a new
value, the change takes effect the next time you reboot the workstation.
The auto boot variable boots the operating system whenever your worksta-
tion is turned on.
To examine the state of auto boot and auto search, type the following 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 auto search 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 auto boot or auto search, enter either of the follow-
ing commands at the prompt:
Configuration Menu: Enter command >
auto boot state
Configuration Menu: Enter command >
auto search state
where state is on or off.
