Halts, Console Commands, and Environment Variables A-3
A.2
Using the Halt Button
Use the Halt button to halt the Compaq Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS operating
system when it hangs or you want to use the SRM console. Use the Halt button to
force Windows NT systems to bring up the SRM console rather than booting or
halting in AlphaBIOS.
Using Halt to Shut Down the Operating System
You can use the Halt button if the Compaq Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS operating
system hangs. Pressing the Halt button halts the operating system back to the SRM
console firmware. From the console, you can use the crash command to force a crash
dump at the operating system level.
The Windows NT operating system does not support halts on this system. Pressing
the Halt button during a Windows NT session has no effect.
Using Halt to Clear the Console Password
The SRM console firmware allows you to set a password to prevent unauthorized
access to the console. If you forget the password, the Halt button, with the login
command, lets you clear the password and regain control of the console. See Section
4.8 of your system User’s Guide.
