Enabling Autoboot
Enabling Autoboot
AUto displays or sets the Autoboot or Search flag, which sets the way a
system will behave after powering on. If Autoboot is ON, the system
boots automatically after reset. If AutoSearch is ON and Autoboot is
OFF, the system searches for and displays all I/O devices from which the
system can boot. Changes to a flag take effect after a system reset or
power- on. The default value for both Autoboot and Autosearch is OFF.
Syntax
AUto [BOot | SEArch] [ON | OFF]
• Used alone, this command displays the current status of the Autoboot
and Autosearch flags.
• BOot - If ON, the OS is automatically loaded from the primary boot
path after a power-up or reset. Otherwise, the system displays the
boot menu and waits for interactive boot commands. During an
autoboot, the process pauses for 10 seconds to allow the operator to
stop the boot process.
• SEArch - If ON, the system searches for all I/O devices that it can
boot from and displays a list. Usually disabled because the search can
be time-consuming.
• ON enables the indicated feature.
• OFF disables the indicated feature.
