The Boot Console Interface

Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags

Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags

The auto boot and auto search flags are variables stored in your computer’s nonvolatile memory. (Nonvolatile memory retains its contents even after power is turned off.) If you reset these flags to new values, the change takes effect the next time you reboot the computer.

The auto boot flag boots the operating system whenever your computer is turned on.

If auto boot is set to on, your computer automatically attempts to boot the operating system when turned on. If auto boot is set to off, your computer enters the boot administration mode of the boot console user interface.

The state of the auto search flag determines how your computer seeks a boot device during auto boot. If auto search is set to on, your computer will search for other boot devices if the primary boot device is not available. If auto search is off, your computer will default to the boot administration mode if it can’t see the primary boot device.

To examine the state of the auto boot and auto search flags, type the following at the prompt and press Enter:

Configuration Menu: Enter command> auto
