FASTBOOT on on

IO_HW off off

2. Enable

full_memory and PDH tests and have those tests executed on all subsequent reboots.

setboot -t FASTBOOT=on

3. Disable the late processor tests and have those tests skipped on all subsequent reboots. If early

CPU tests are on when this command is executed, the

SELFTESTS state in BCH stays on while

setboot -v shows the state as partial

setboot -t late_cpu=off

4. Reset all tests to the machine-shipped default values.

setboot -t all=default

5. Reset only the

FASTBOOT (full_memory and PDH) tests to their default values.

setboot -t FASTBOOT=default

6. Cause the early and late CPU tests to be executed on the next system boot. The previously set test

values take effect again after the single boot.

setboot -T SELFTESTS=on

7. Cause all tests to be skipped on the next reboot. The previously set test values will take effect for

subsequent reboots.

setboot -T all=off

8. Enable hyperthreading for next system boot.

setboot -m on

WARNINGS

The setboot command fails under the following circumstances:

• On Integrity systems, a device cannot be set as a boot path if the device does not have an EFI parti-

tion.

• The number of writes to the stable storage exceeds the number allowed by the architecture imple-

mentation.

• Hardware failure.

• The implementation does not have memory for the alternate boot path, in which case, this variable

is neither readable nor writable.

Autoboot and Autosearch on PA-RISC Systems

The interpretation of Autoboot and Autosearch has changed for PA-RISC systems that support hardware

partitions. The ﬁrmware interprets the bits in combination and not individually as done before. In order

to approximate the traditional behavior of

setboot, the user input for the autoboot and

autosearch ﬂags is internally mapped to the right combination to achieve the desired behavior. This

mapping should be transparent to the user of setboot, but might show up when accessing the ﬁrmware

using means other than setboot.

For the primary path, the boot action corresponds to the Autoboot and Autosearch ﬂags in the following

manner:

AutoBoot AutoSearch Boot Action

off off Go to the BCH and prompt the user.

on off Attempt the primary path; on failure

go to BCH.

on on Attempt the primary path; on failure
