2.1 Invoking the SRM Console
When a system is powered up, the SRM console runs and either
remains running or passes control to another console or an
operating system. If the system is already running, invoke the
SRM console by shutting down the operating system or by
pressing the Halt button on the control panel.
If you are running Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS Alpha operating system
• The preferred method to invoke the SRM console is to shut down the
operating system according to the procedure described in your operating
system documentation.
• An alternative method is to press the Halt button on the control panel.
Following one of these steps, the console prompt, >>>, will be displayed. You
are now at the SRM console.
If you are running AlphaBIOS
To switch to the SRM console, power cycle the system. The SRM console will
boot.
After you have performed tasks in the console mode, you must boot the
operating system with the boot command to go back to the operating mode.
