Value
Description
off
Changes the board state of all the boards belonging to a domain to the
Assigned board
status, and places the boards in low-power mode,
which allows you to remove the boards from the system. The domain
is not initialized at system power up.
on
Powers on and initializes the domain. The system controller brings the
domain into the OpenBoot PROM through POST. If the OpenBoot
PROM has the
auto-boot?
parameter set to
true
, then the Solaris
Operating Environment boots automatically.
standby
Changes the board state of all the boards belonging to a domain to the
Assigned board
status but does not put the boards in low-power
mode. The domain is not initialized at system power up, but the
boards that comprise the domain are powered up.
diag
Similar to the
setkeyswitch on
command except the POST verbose
mode is set to on and the POST diagnostic level is set to maximum.
secure
Similar to the
setkeyswitch on
command except that the
break
and
reset
commands are ignored. System board and I/O board flash
PROM updates are not allowed.
