To update more than one device, you may use a wildcard but not a list. For example, update k* updates all devices with names beginning with k, and update * updates all devices.

  • Page 48: Using The Halt Button

    Using the Halt Button Under OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX, the halt button pauses the operating system. Use the Halt button to halt the Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS operating system when it hangs, clear the SRM console password (see Section 2.9.2), or force a halt assertion (see Section 1.10).

  • Page 49: Using Halt To Shut Down The Operating System

    Figure 1–6 Halt/Reset Button - DS10L PK2220 1.9.1 Using Halt to Shut Down the Operating System You can use the Halt button if the Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS operating system hangs. Pressing the Halt button halts the operating system back to the SRM console firmware.

  • Page 50: Halt Assertion

    1.10 Halt Assertion A halt assertion allows you to disable automatic boots of the operating system so that you can perform tasks from the SRM console. Under certain conditions, you might want to force a “halt assertion A halt .” assertion differs from a simple halt in that the SRM console “remembers”...

  • Page 51: Halt Assertion With Rmc Haltin Command

    1.10.2 Halt Assertion with RMC Haltin Command Enter the RMC haltin command at any time except during power-up. For example, enter haltin during an operating system session or when the AlphaBIOS console is running. If you enter the RMC haltin command during a Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS session, the system halts back to the SRM console, and the halt status is saved.

  • Page 52: Disabling The Srm Power-Up Script

    1.10.5 Disabling the SRM Power-Up Script The system has a power-up script (file) named “nvram” that runs every time the system powers up. If you accidentally insert a command in the script that will cause a system problem, disable the script by using one of the methods described previously to force a halt assertion.
  • Page 53 Chapter 2 SRM and AlphaBIOS Consoles The SRM console is the command-line interface that supports the Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS operating systems. The SRM console is used to bootstrap the operating system, configure and test the system hardware, examine system options for errors, and set or change environment variables.

  • Page 54: Invoking The Srm Console

    Invoking the SRM Console When a system is powered up, the SRM console runs and either remains running or passes control to another console or an operating system. If the system is already running, invoke the SRM console by shutting down the operating system or by pressing the Halt button on the control panel.

No action is taken on a Enter command until it is terminated. If no characters are entered and this key is pressed, the console just redisplays the prompt.
  • Page 59 Character Function Stops output to the console terminal for the current Ctrl/O command. Toggles between enable and disable. The output can be re-enabled by other means as well: when the console prompts for a command, issues an error message, or enters program mode, or when Ctrl/P is entered.

    Creating a Power-Up Script A special nonvolatile file named “nvram” is stored in EEROM, and is always invoked during the power-up sequence. You can create an nvram script to include any commands you want the system to execute at power-up. You alter, create and edit the nvram script using the SRM edit command.
  • Page 69 NOTE: It is possible to disable the system by editing the nvram script. For example, if you include the initialize command in the script, the system will go into an endless loop. To fix this, press the Halt button while the system is powering up. You can then edit the script to delete the offending command.

    Set Commands 2.8.1 Set Password The set password command sets the console password for the first time or changes an existing password. It is necessary to set the password only if the system is going to operate in secure mode. Syntax: set password The password length must be between 15 and 30 alphanumeric characters.

  • Page 77: Set Secure

    2.8.2 Set Secure The set secure command enables secure mode without requiring a restart of the console. If the password has been set, the console will be secured and only a small subset of commands can be performed. If a password has not been set, you are prompted to do so.

  • Page 78: Secure Mode

    Secure Mode When the console is in secure mode, the only commands recognized are boot, login, continue, and start.
