Modifying System Parameters with a Conversational Boot
 | Although you can modify system parameters with a conversational
boot, HP recommends that you use AUTOGEN or the System Management
utility (SYSMAN). For more information, see
Modifying System Parameters with AUTOGEN and
Managing System Parameters with SYSMAN. Use a conversational boot only to change isolated system parameters temporarily or in an emergency. For example, during a system upgrade, you would use a conversational boot to modify STARTUP_P1 to use a minimum startup. Remember that if you change a value and do not add the changed value to the AUTOGEN parameter file MODPARAMS.DAT, AUTOGEN will overwrite the value the next time AUTOGEN executes. |

At the end of the conversational boot, the default system parameter file is modified to store the new active parameter values.
 | Parameter values modified with a conversational boot will be overridden by the AUTOGEN command procedure. To keep parameter modifications made with a conversational boot, edit the file SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT as explained in Controlling AUTOGEN's Parameter Settings with MODPARAMS.DAT to specify the new parameter values. |
