HP Integrity rx3600 Server User Service Guide

For details, see the following sections:
◦ Setting HP-UX boot options
◦ Setting OpenVMS boot options
◦ Setting Windows boot options
◦ Setting Linux boot options
• Autoboot Setting
The autoboot setting determines at startup whether a server automatically loads the first item
in the boot options list, or remains at the EFI Boot Manager menu. When autoboot is enabled,
EFI loads the first item in the boot options list after a designated timeout period.
Configure the autoboot setting for an HP Integrity server using either the autoboot EFI
Shell command, or the Set Auto Boot TimeOut menu item from the EFI Boot Configuration Menu.
For example:
To disable autoboot from the EFI Shell, enter:
autoboot off
To enable autoboot with the default timeout value, enter:
autoboot on
To enable autoboot with a timeout of 60 seconds, enter:
autoboot time 60
To set autoboot from HP-UX, enter:
setboot
To enable autoboot from HP-UX, enter:
setboot -b on
To disable autoboot, enter:
setboot -b off
