Re: auto boot of BC-S VIOS

thanks Pete. I will call IBM support tomorrow. My blade also has an
annoying habit of coming up in some sort of "discovered" status
frequently when I power on the system. When that happens I have to
start the blade from the white power switch on the front. Hardware
support had me upgrade the firmware the last time I called about it.
Which did not help.

Steve,

I haven't run into this unless I specifically changed the "keylock"
parameter to manual in the IVM.  I don't know why that would change from
boot to boot without some kind of intervention though.

The setting in the IVM is on the "General" tab in the Partition Properties.

sometimes when I power on my BC-S VIOS boots automatically. Other
times the boot stops with a screen on the console saying "PowerPC
firmware.  option 1 change language, 2.) change keyboard, 3.) continue
boot.  How can I config VIOS to always skip this menu?

thanks,
