RE: What's a hyperboot? It sounds dangerous.

For the IPL type, I'd just use F unless I really wanted a thorough hardware diagnostic and then use S.

The P & T refer to the firmware version of the service processor (Permanent & Temporary - think of an A/B side IPL of the system).  I do recall having to update it once at IBM's request to fix a problem.
Change the V=H to V=F and I believe you're good-to-go.

This is from memory of a few years back - I'd definitely defer to any info or corrections from Jim or the Doc if they chime in.

Subject: What's a hyperboot? It sounds dangerous.

As I said in the "Front panel issues" thread, late Friday, I probably
disturbed the front-panel settings while I was groping in the dark,
trying to initiate a front-panel PWRDWNSYS before the UPS dropped out
(and only partially succeeding, but at least the system came back up
without incident)

Function-01 currently shows:
01 B N V=H
P

Is that what it SHOULD be? I'm looking at a PDF I downloaded from a
Google search on "ibm i e4a front panel," and "hyperboot" sounds less
than entirely safe. And what is the "P" vs. "T" about?
