6.5.2 Setting Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS Systems to Auto Start
The SRM auto_action environment variable determines the default
action the system takes when the system is power cycled, reset, or
experiences a failure.
On systems that are factory configured for UNIX or OpenVMS, the factory
setting for auto_action is halt. The halt setting causes the system to stop in
the SRM console. You must then boot the operating system manually.
For maximum system availability, auto_action can be set to boot or restart.
•
With the boot setting, the operating system boots automatically after the
SRM init command is issued or the Reset button is pressed.
•
With the restart setting, the operating system boots automatically after the
SRM init command is issued or the Reset button is pressed, and it also
reboots after an operating system crash.
To set the default action to boot, enter the following SRM commands:
P00>>> set auto_action boot
P00>>> init
For more information on auto_action, see the Compaq AlphaServer ES40 User
Interface Guide.
