Configuring Auto Start for a Partition
The BCH interface’s auto-start setting for each partition determines how
the boot process occurs when one of the partition’s components
(processors or memory) fails self-test.
By default AUTOSTART is set to OFF, and the partition stops at the
BCH interface when a processor or DIMM fails self-test.
When AUTOSTART is ON, the partition proceeds with the normal boot
process and performs the boot actions for its boot paths as necessary.
BCH Use this procedure to configure auto-start for a partition.
Step 1. Log in to the Superdome complex’s GSP, access the partition’s console,
and access the BCH configuration menu.
From the partition console you access the partition’s BCH interface. If
the partition is not at the BCH interface you must either boot the
partition or shut down HP-UX to return to the BCH interface.
From the BCH main menu, enter CO to access the BCH configuration
menu.
Step 2. From the BCH configuration menu, use the AU command to list or set
auto-start for the partition.
Enter AU with no arguments to list the auto-start setting.
Enter AU ON to set auto-start to ON, or AU OFF to set it to OFF.
You can perform this task using the BCH interface.
