https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/slow-booting/m-p/2530458#M868633 I have a K570, and it runs through an interminably long process every time I reboot. FASTBOOT = YES, but it appears to run memory and cpu checks every time it reboots. It takes a good 20 minutes or so to reboot. What's the solution to this?

The FASTBOOT option makes it boot faster, but at the risk of NOT completely testing hardware. Setting the FASTBOOT flag is good when doing maintenance where you need to do a lot of reboots, but I recommend that you turn FASTBOOT off when you deliver to production - this will allow for a more robust system diagnosis if its hardware. Typically, the more memory you have, the longer the boot, since every bit of memory is tested. 20 minutes is normal for a K-box. The newer L's and N's typically take 10 to 15 minutes to boot.
