nPartition Administrator's Guide, Second Edition

• boottest testname on — Enable the specified test (testname).
For example: boottest io_hw on enables I/O hardware selftests.
• boottest testname off — Disable the specified test (testname).
For example: boottest io_hw off disables I/O hardware selftests.
3. Exit the console and service processor interfaces if finished using them.
To exit the EFI environment type ^B (Control-B); this exits the nPartition console and returns
to the service processor Main Menu. To exit the service processor, type X at the Main Menu.
Procedure 5-65 Configuring Boot-Time System Tests (HP-UX B.11.11)
From the HP-UX B.11.11 command line use the setboot command to configure the self test
configuration for an nPartition.
1. Login to HP-UX running on the nPartition whose boot-time tests you want to configure.
2. Enter the setboot -v command to list the current self test configuration for the local
nPartition.
The self test details listed by setboot -v include:
TEST—The keyword names of self tests that you can enable or disable.
CURRENT—The test setting in stable storage for the nPartition: on means the test is normally
executed on each boot, off means the test is normally omitted on each boot, partial means
some subtests normally are executed on each boot. This may differ from the NEXT BOOT
settings.
SUPPORTED—Whether the server supports the test completely (yes), partially (partial),
or not at all (no).
DEFAULT—The default setting for the test, either on, off, or partial.
NEXT BOOT—The self test behavior for the next boot of the nPartition only. If these settings
differ from CURRENT, then the CURRENT settings are reestablished after the next boot.
The following example shows setboot -v output for an nPartition in an HP 9000 server.
# setboot -v
Primary bootpath : 0/0/6/0/0.6.0
Alternate bootpath : 0/0/1/0/0.8.0
Autoboot is OFF (disabled)
Autosearch is OFF (disabled)
Note: The interpretation of Autoboot and Autosearch has changed for
systems that support hardware partitions. Please refer to the manpage.
