SecurePlatform Boot Loader

Booting in Maintenance Mode

Maintenance Mode should be used in rare system emergencies, such as when there is a problem rebooting the system, or the Standard admin password is lost. To reboot in this mode, position the selection bar on "SecurePlatform with Application Intelligence [Maintenance Mode]" and click Enter. You will be asked to enter a password.

Selecting the Maintenance Mode boot option will boot your SecurePlatform in a special mode, known on Unix systems as "single-user mode". In this mode, your computer boots to runlevel 1. Your local file systems will be mounted, but your network will not be activated. You will have a usable system maintenance shell.

Customizing the Boot Process

To customize the boot process, click p in order to enter a password and unlock the next set of features. The password is the Expert password that you set for your system. The following options are available:

• Click e to edit any of the boot options (position the selection bar on the relevant boot option).
• Click c to perform root level system operations.

Snapshot Image Management

At boot time, the user is given the option of switching to any of the available snapshots. For more information, see Snapshot Image Management.
