FastBoot

KPS — Fri, 14 Nov 2003 05:21:24 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out the syntax to turn FastBoot off on a server I have running HP-UX 11.11.

Could someone provide the syntax as well as let me know where this gets set?
(Ie: Which run level or is it in the GSP?)

Thanks,
-Ken

As you are running 11.11 you can use setboot and its options to enable/disable fastboot.

check the man pages of setboot

Hi Ken,

From the setboot manpage it looks like the syntax is simply :

# setboot -t FASTBOOT=off

You can use "setboot -v" to see if this is supported by your hardware. It is only supported on systems that have a boot console handler (BCH - rp7400 etc). If your system has a BCH but the option is inaccessable I suspect you will need a firmware upgrade to activate it. It will be set in stable storage on the cpu.

Cheers,

James.

Hi Ken,

With setboot -v you can check the fastboot setting.

to adjust it use setboot -t FASTBOOT=on
check te manpage.

I only use fastboot during installation, not afterwards to make sure the system has no HW problems.
