You can configure boot-time system tests (self tests) for
an nPartition by using any one of the following procedures: Procedure 5-63 Configuring Boot-Time System Tests (BCH Menu) From the BCH Configuration Menu use the FASTBOOT command
to configure fast boot settings for an nPartition. The BCH interface is available
only on HP 9000 systems. Access the BCH
Main Menu for the nPartition whose boot-time tests you want to configure. Login to the service processor (MP or GSP) and enter CO to
access the Console list. Select the nPartition console. When accessing the
console, confirm that you are at the BCH Main Menu (the Main
Menu: Enter command or menu> prompt). If at a BCH menu
other than the Main Menu, then enter MA to return to the
BCH Main Menu. At the BCH Configuration
menu use the FASTBOOT command to list or configure
the nPartition fast boot settings. Enter FASTBOOT with
no arguments to display the current fast boot settings. This lists which self
tests are set to be performed or skipped. To disable an individual test, enter FASTBOOT test SKIP,
where test is the name of the self test ("PDH", "EARLY",
or "LATE"). To enable an individual test, enter FASTBOOT test RUN. For details on setting self tests, enter HELP
FASTBOOT at the Configuration menu. Exit the console
and service processor interfaces if finished using them. To
exit the BCH environment type ^B (Control-B);
this exits the nPartition console and returns to the service processor Main
Menu. To exit the service processor, type X at the Main
Menu.
Procedure 5-64 Configuring Boot-Time System Tests (EFI Shell) From the EFI Shell environment use the boottest command
to manage the self test configuration for the local nPartition. The EFI Shell
is available only on HP Integrity systems. Access the EFI
Shell environment for the nPartition whose boot-time tests you want to configure. Login to the service processor (MP or GSP) and enter CO to
access the Console list. Select the nPartition console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the
EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI menu). If at another EFI menu, select
the Exit option from the sub-menus until you return
to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading. From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select the EFI
Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell environment. At the EFI Shell
environment use the boottest command to list, enable, or
disable boot-time system tests for the local nPartition. To
display the list of supported boot-time system tests, enter the boottest
-h command at the EFI Shell prompt. Shell> boottest -h
Usage: BOOTTEST [on|off] | [[test] [on|off]]
test : early_cpu, late_cpu, platform, chipset
io_hw, mem_init, mem_test
Shell> |
You can enable or disable any of the boot-time tests by
specifying the name of the test to boottest. The test names
include: early_cpu, late_cpu, platform, chipset, io_hw, mem_init,
and mem_test. System Tests: Configuring and Deconfiguring Tests from the EFI Shell. boottest — Display the current boot-time
system test configuration. boottest testname —
Display the current setting for the specified test (testname). For example: boottest mem_test displays the memory
selftest settings. boottest on — Enable all boot-time
system tests. Enabling all tests is recommended. boottest off — Disable all boot-time
system tests. Disabling all selftests is usually not recommended;
ordinarily all tests are enabled. boottest testname on —
Enable the specified test (testname). For
example: boottest io_hw on enables I/O hardware selftests. boottest testname off —
Disable the specified test (testname). For
example: boottest io_hw off disables I/O hardware selftests.
Exit the console
and service processor interfaces if finished using them. To
exit the EFI environment type ^B (Control-B);
this exits the nPartition console and returns to the service processor Main
Menu. To exit the service processor, type X at the Main
Menu.
Procedure 5-65 Configuring Boot-Time System Tests (HP-UX B.11.11) From the HP-UX B.11.11 command line use the setboot command
to configure the self test configuration for an nPartition. Login to HP-UX
running on the nPartition whose boot-time tests you want to configure. Enter the setboot
-v command to list the current self test configuration for the
local nPartition. The self test details listed by setboot
-v include: | TEST—The keyword names of self tests that you can enable
or disable. | | CURRENT—The test setting in stable storage for the nPartition: on means
the test is normally executed on each boot, off means the
test is normally omitted on each boot, partial means some
subtests normally are executed on each boot. This may differ from the NEXT
BOOT settings. | | SUPPORTED—Whether the server supports the test completely
(yes), partially (partial), or not at
all (no). | | DEFAULT—The default setting for the test, either on, off,
or partial. | | NEXT BOOT—The self test behavior for the next boot of
the nPartition only. If these settings differ from CURRENT, then the CURRENT
settings are reestablished after the next boot. |
The following example shows setboot -v output
for an nPartition in an HP 9000 server. # setboot -v
Primary bootpath : 0/0/6/0/0.6.0
Alternate bootpath : 0/0/1/0/0.8.0
Autoboot is OFF (disabled)
Autosearch is OFF (disabled)
Note: The interpretation of Autoboot and Autosearch has changed for
systems that support hardware partitions. Please refer to the manpage.

Use the setboot... command
to enable or disable boot-time self tests for the local nPartition. You can use the following commands to configure tests: | setboot -t test_name=[on|off|default] | | setboot -T test_name=[on|off|default] |
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. 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 settings for these tests in stable storage
for the nPartition and uses these test configurations for all following boots. After modifying the self test configuration for an nPartition,
you can list the new settings with the setboot -v command. For more details refer to the setboot(1M) manpage.
Procedure 5-66 Configuring Boot-Time System Tests (HP-UX B.11.23 and HP-UX 11.31) From the HP-UX B.11.23 or HP-UX 11.31 command line use
the setboot command to configure the self test configuration
for an nPartition. Login to HP-UX
running on the nPartition whose boot-time tests you want to configure. Enter the setboot
-v command to list the current self test configuration for the
local nPartition. The self test details listed by setboot
-v include: | TEST—The keyword names of self tests that you can enable
or disable. | | CURRENT—The setting for the test in stable storage for
the nPartition: on means the test is normally executed
on each boot, off means the test is normally omitted on
each boot, partial means some subtests normally are executed
on each boot. | | DEFAULT—The default setting for the test, either on, off,
or partial. |
Use the setboot... command
to enable or disable boot-time self tests for the local nPartition. You can use the following command to configure tests on
HP Integrity systems: | setboot -T test_name=[on|off|default] |
test_name is the name of the self
test or is "all" (for all tests). The -T option changes the test setting
for the next boot only. | | | |  | NOTE: The setboot command's -t option
is not supported for HP Integrity systems. | | | | |
After modifying the self test configuration for an nPartition,
you can list the new settings with the setboot -v command. For more details refer to the setboot(1M) manpage.
