Boot@Boot Support
Boot@Boot is a feature that you can configure to automatically start the SunPCi III software on one or more SunPCi III cards when it is installed on a Sun system. The ability to automatically restart SunPCi sessions if they fail and the ability to gracefully shut down SunPCi sessions (including performing an orderly shutdown of the operating system) are also part of the Boot@Boot support.
Boot@Boot currently supports all supported SunPCi versions of Microsoft Windows and Linux.
The following SunPCi III 3.2.1 software components support Boot@Boot:
■SunPCi daemon - This is a required component.
■Virtual Network Computing1 (VNC) - This is an optional component.

You can also use the sunpcidadm command to enable and disable auto restart functionality, and to start and stop the SunPCi software on one or more cards. When changes are made to the SunPCi daemon configuration by the sunpcidadm command with
