Performing a slow boot by using the Hardware Management Console
You can perform a slow boot by using the Hardware Management Console (HMC).
In some cases, you need to perform a slow-mode boot to perform
extended diagnostic testing.
Note: A slow-mode boot might produce
a new reference code on the control panel or new errors in the service
processor error log. When the server reports a new error code, record
it for use in subsequent steps.
To perform a slow boot, complete
the following steps:
Record any reference codes appearing on the control panel
or HMC.
Shut down all logical partitions and the server.
In the navigation area, open Systems Management.
Open Servers.
Select the server on which you want to perform a slow boot.
In the Tasks area, click Properties.
Click the Power-On Parameters tab.
Click Slow from the list in the
Power-on speed override field in the Next column.
Note: These
settings apply only to the current boot. After you complete the service
action, the settings revert back to the original setting.
Click OK.
After you are done, return to the step in the procedure
that caused you to perform a slow boot.This ends the
procedure.
