Resetting an AutoRestart/iX System
Whenever you perform either a soft reset (CtrlB TC) or a hard reset
(CtrlB RS) on a system with the autoboot feature configured, your system
invokes the commands located in the autoboot file. In this case (and any
case where a system abort did not occur), you do not want to invoke the
DUMP command located in your autoboot file. Instead, stay at the console
and override the autoboot sequence by pressing any key within 10 seconds
after you see this display on the console:
Autoboot from primary boot path enabled.
To override, press any key within 10 seconds.
At the ISL prompt, restart your system, remembering to use the -R option
with START.
If you are unable to press a key to override autoboot, and autoboot
proceeds to invoke the DUMP command located in the autoboot file, you
should ignore the dump and perform a soft or hard system reset from the
console. Attempt again to override the autoboot sequence, then restart
the system using the -R option with START.
NOTE If dump-to-disk has already proceeded, it could be storing invalid
dump information to a dump file. You have to run the BLDDUMP
utility and reset the dump file that contains the invalid dump
information.
