Available Environment V ariables T able 10–1 Environment V ariables V ariable Description Default auto_action Specifies the action the console should take any time the system is turned on. HAL T bootdef_dev Sets the default boot device. {null} boot_osflags Sets the boot flags.
Displaying Current Environment V ariables Displaying Current Environment V ariables Using the show Command Y ou can use the show command to display one or all of the environment variables in T able 10–1.
Changing the Default Startup Action (auto_action) Changing the Default Startup Action (auto_action) Description The auto_action environment variable determines the default startup action–the action the console takes any time the system is halted by software (not by pressing the halt button) or turned on.
Changing the Default Startup Action (auto_action) Default Setting The default setting for the auto_action environment variable depends on whether your system has factory-installed software. W orkstations and servers with factory-installed software are set to BOOT , all other systems are set to HAL T .
Changing the Default Boot Device (bootdef_dev) Changing the Default Boot Device (bootdef_dev) Description The bootdef_dev environment variable determines the default boot device, or devices, from which the system attempts to boot.
Changing the Default Boot Device (bootdef_dev) Command Syntax T o set the bootdef_dev environment variable, enter the following command: >>> set bootdef_dev device Return Enter the device from which you want your system to boot.
Changing the Default Boot Device (bootdef_dev) Command Example Using a Device List Y ou can set the bootdef_dev environment variable so that the systems tries to boot from a list of devices, rather than from a single device.
Changing the Default Diagnostic Startup Mode (diag_quick) Command Syntax T o set the diag_quick environment variable, enter the following command. The system responds as shown. >>> set diag_quick on Return DIAG_QUICK = ON >>> Using the on parameter changes the default setting.
Changing the Default Keyboard Language (language) Command Example The system displays a list of languages, each with a designated number . T o set the language environment variable to Svenska, for example, you would enter 14 as shown in the example.
Changing the Default Fast SCSI (fast_scsi_a)(fast_scsi_b) A vailable Settings Y ou can set the fast_scsi_a and fast_scsi_b environment variables to on or off : • on to operate in slow and fast SCSI mode, device dependent. • off to operate in slow SCSI mode.
11 Using the Password Security Feature Chapter Overview Introduction The password security feature lets you prevent unauthorized personnel from accessing privileged console commands on your workstation or server .
Before Y ou Begin Before Y ou Begin i When to Use the Security Feature If the password security feature is not enabled, whenever a user enters console mode, he or she can use all of the privileged console commands, such as halt, set, deposit , and initialize .
Before Y ou Begin T able 1 1–1 Console Command Access Privileged Commands Non-privileged Commands boot (with parameters) boot (without parameters) deposit login (to allow password entry to the privi.
Before Y ou Begin What Y ou Should Do First Before making your system secure, determine who will have access to privileged commands once you enable the security feature. Whoever requires privileged access to the system will need to know the password that you enter .
Moving the Secure System Jumper Moving the Secure System Jumper Secure System Jumper After entering a password and enabling the secure environment variable, you must move the secure system jumper on the I/O board to complete the security feature on your system.
Moving the Secure System Jumper Step 2: Remove System Unit Cover If you have a monitor or a terminal on top of the system unit, move it aside now . Figure 1 1–1 shows how to remove the cover from the system unit as follows: 1. Loosen the thumbscrew located in the center of the rear of the system unit .
Moving the Secure System Jumper Step 3: Release Driveplate After removing the system unit cover , locate and loosen the four thumbscrews that hold the driveplate in place .
Moving the Secure System Jumper Step 4: Move Driveplate Make sure that the system unit is placed on the table or desk with enough room at the front of the unit to accommodate the driveplate as you remove it. Grasp the rear of the driveplate and gently tilt the entire plate forward , as shown in Figure 1 1–3.
Moving the Secure System Jumper Step 5: Move Secure System Jumper Figure 1 1–4 indicates the position of the secure system jumper on the system I/O board. The secure system jumper is labeled on the I/O board, and the Off and On positions indicated. Figure 1 1–4 shows the jumper in the default Off position.
Moving the Secure System Jumper Step 6: Replace Driveplate Holding the driveplate vertically , align the metal extension tabs on the base of the driveplate with the corresponding slots along the front of the system unit. Reconnect the driveplate power connector , and replace the driveplate.
Moving the Secure System Jumper Step 7: Replace Drive Cable and Thumbscrews Tighten the driveplate thumscrews , and reconnect the drive cable , as indicated in Figure 1 1–6. Note that the drive cable connector on the driveplate has two extensions that snap into position on either side of the drive cable when it is reconnected.
Moving the Secure System Jumper Step 8: Replace System Unit Cover Position the system unit cover at the front of the system unit and push it down and backward , as shown in Figure 1 1–7. T ighten the thumbscrew on the rear of the system unit once the cover is securely in place.
Entering a Password Entering a Password Enter a New Password Y our system arrives from the factory without a password. The password you enter must be a character string of exactly 16 hexadecimal characters (0 through 9, A through F). T o enter a password on your system, enter the commands shown in T able 1 1–4 starting at the console mode prompt.
Enabling System Security Enabling System Security Enable Secure Environment V ariable Once you have entered and confirmed your password, you must enable security by setting the secure environment variable to on , using the set secure command as T able 1 1–5 describes.
Using the login Command Using the login Command The login Command After entering the password, enabling it, and then changing the secure system jumper on the I/O board, you must use the login command to access privileged console commands as T able 1 1–6 describes.
Forgetting the Password Forgetting the Password Erase the Current Password If you forget your password, you must complete the steps in T able 1 1–7 to erase the password and regain access to your system. T able 1 1–7 Steps to Access System Step Description 1 Move the secure system jumper to the Off position.
Disabling or Changing the Password Disabling or Changing the Password Disabling the Password T o disable the password security feature, enter the login command and your password.
Disabling or Changing the Password If the passwords you enter are the same, your password is changed. If Y ou Make an Error If the two passwords you enter do not match, the console displays the following error message: ? 30 ILL PSWD T ry to reset the password by repeating the set password command again.
12 Using an Alternate Console Chapter Overview Introduction The alternate console feature of your system lets you direct console input and output from a monitor to another device, such as a terminal.

Using the Alternate Console Feature Using the Alternate Console Feature When to Use an Alternate Console The alternate console feature lets you direct console output to an output device such as a terminal or a printer .
Using the Alternate Console Feature Step 1: Connect a T erminal or Printer T o connect a terminal or printer as an alternate console device, connect the terminal or printer cable to the alternate console/ printer port on the system unit as shown in Figure 12–1.
Using the Alternate Console Feature Step 2: Change the Alternate Console Switch The alternate console switch on the rear of the system unit directs console output to one of two destinations: a monitor or an alternate console device, such as a terminal or a printer .
Using the Alternate Console Feature Step 3: Redirect Console Output If you were using a monitor to display console output before you connected an alternate console device, you must restart your system to redirect console output. (Restarting the system is sometimes referred to as power cycling the system.
