Whenever you perform an update or install on a system where AutoRestart/iX is configured, you should disable the autoboot flag at the ISL prompt prior to invoking either UPDATE or INSTALL. This action removes the possibility of the system invoking DUMP from the autoboot file before you have completed the update or installation.

 | NOTE:
The dump-to-disk feature does not work immediately following an update or install and prior to a startup. If a dump is attempted at this time, the system dumps only to tape.

To disable autoboot, enter the following at the ISL prompt:
Remember to reenable the autoboot flag immediately after completion of the update or installation and before you enter START -R. To reenable autoboot, enter the following at the ISL prompt:
If you did not disable the autoboot flag prior to installation or update, then, upon an update or install completion, you should override the autoboot sequence by pressing any key within 10 seconds after you see this display on the console:
Autoboot from primary boot path enabled.
To override, press any key within 10 seconds.

If you are unable to press a key to override autoboot, and autoboot proceeds to invoke the DUMP command located in the autoboot file, you should ignore the dump to tape and, instead, perform a soft or hard system reset from the console. Attempt again to override the autoboot sequence, then restart the system using the -R option with START.
