Booting and Resetting nPartitions

Conﬁguring Fast Boot Settings (Self Tests) for a nPartition

test_name

is the name of the self test (“PDH”, “early_cpu”, “late_cpu”) or

is “all” (for all tests).

The setboot command’s -t option changes the test setting in stable

storage and affects all following boots. The -T option changes the test

setting for the next boot only.

NOTE HP recommends that all self tests be performed for all nPartitions.

To enable all tests for an nPartition, use the following command:

setboot -t all=on

For example, to enable the early CPU tests and PDH tests but disable

the late CPU tests issue the following command:

setboot -t early_cpu=on -t PDH=on -t late_cpu=off

This changes the local nPartition’s settings for these tests in its stable

storage and uses these test conﬁgurations for all following boots.

After modifying an nPartition’s self test conﬁguration, you can list the

new settings with the setboot -v command.

For more details see the setboot (1M) manpage.
