G.1.1 What is the XSCF Startup Mode Function?
The XSCF startup mode function has been introduced in XCP 2220 and later for SPARC M12-1/M10-1 systems.
The xscfstartupmode command is used to change the behavior of the XSCF at startup. The xscfstartupmode command allows the user to select "normal" (default) or "fast" mode.
The "fast" mode enables the SPARC M12-1/M10-1 system to automatically start the physical partition after the input power of the system is turned on (AC ON) and the XSCF has started. In "fast" mode, there is no need to enter the XSCF poweron command to start the physical partition.
For SPARC M12-1/M10-1 systems with XCP revisions prior to XCP 2220, or for SPARC M12-1/M10-1 systems with XCP 2220 or later and xscfstartupmode set to "normal" mode, the XSCF poweron command must be used to start the physical partition after the system is turned on (AC ON).
To start the physical partition automatically, set the startup mode to "fast", set the operation panel mode switch to "Locked" and turn on the input power of the system (AC ON). If the input power of the system is turned on (AC ON) when the operation panel mode switch is set to "Service", the startup mode reverts to "normal" and thus, the physical partition is not automatically started.
To run in "normal" mode temporarily, set the operation panel mode switch to "Service" and turn on the input power (AC ON).
The XSCF startup mode function is specific to SPARC M12-1/M10-1 only and it is not supported on the M12-2/M12-2S/M10-4/M10-4S.
