sys_boottimeout

ALOM will start a boot timeout timer once the host system is powered on or reset. If the host fails to boot by the time this timer expires, it will perform an action that you set through the sys_bootrestart variable.

Use the sys_boottimeout variable to set the amount of time that ALOM will wait for the host to boot before performing that action. The default value is 120 seconds.

Note: Choose the value of this variable carefully. Consider the system configuration and the typical amount of time it takes for the system to boot up completely when deciding on a value for this variable. You must also have the auto-boot setting in the OpenBoot PROM set to true; if you have the auto-boot setting set to false, the system will not reboot automatically after being powered on or reset, and ALOM will view this as a boot failure.

From the ALOM command shell:

• To specify a value (or values) for this variable, use the setupsc command.
• To view the current value, use the showsc command.
• To change the value(s), use the setsc command.

Using the scadm utility:

• To view the current value for this variable, use the show command.
• To change the value, use the set command.
