Autoboot, -search, start

[Konrad Hegner]

Hi there

What's happen with Autostart. I don't understand the help information about AUTOSTART. What is the meaning from the helpinformation: ...,AUTOBOOT and AUTOSEARCH will be inhibited in the event system degradation of performance is found.

OK, I'm not an english-guy, but also our US-guy don't understand this. Can anyone explain me this in other words.
AND which setting is prefarable - ON or OFF?

I would have it on.

Hi Konrad:

Hi:

'autoboot' and 'autosearch' can be set/reset via the 'setboot' command. 'autoboot' when "off" indicates that you want to be prompted to chose your boot path and possibly interract with the IPL. If 'autoboot' is "on" an unattended bootup occurs.

'autosearch' "on" causes a search to occur for all bootable devices. The list of devices is then presented for selection. 'autosearch' has meaning only when 'autoboot' is "off".

Regards!

Hello James

Thank you for the explanation about the relation from autosearch and autoboot. Do you know also something about autostart?

I read in the answer above, that it is only for Hp Superdomes is this true? We works only with Hp 9000 L-classes.

no, does not have to be superdome - will work fine w/ L's, N's, etc. . . .
