mot-noprobelist
This GEV provides the user with a means to exclude PCI devices from MOTLoad’s IO
probing. Excluding the devices that are not needed for booting the OS will reduce the time
needed for MOTLoad to finish its IO probing task. (See the waitProbe command for
more information.)
The mot-noprobelist GEV specifies each PCI device to exclude as
“businstance,busnumber,devicenumber,functionnumber". Values are specified as
decimal numbers. Multiple PCI devices may be excluded by use of the ':' as a separator.
Examples:
mot-noprobelist="1,12,5,2" would exclude the PCI device at bus intance = 1, bus
number=12, device number=12, function=2 from the MOTLoad IO probe.
mot-noprobelist="0,3,1,0:1,2,3,0:0,7,2,3" would exclude three PCI devices from the
MOTLoad IO probe.
To determine the PCI device bus instance, bus, device, and function numbers of the various
PCI devices in the system, the pciShow command can be used.
mot-passwd
The mot-passwd GEV allows the user to specify a MOTLoad password. If this GEV is set,
then MOTLoad will require the user to enter the password before allowing access to the
MOTLoad command line. By default, MOTLoad does not require the user to enter any
password.
Note: If the MOTLoad password is forgotten, the administrator can reset it by configuring the
board HW for safe start mode and then using gevInit and/or gevEdit to reset the passwd
to a known state.
bootargs
The bootargs GEV allows the user to specify a string that MOTLoad will pass to the booted
OS. Actual use is OS dependent but normally the OS (e.g. Linux) will use the string as the
default kernel command line.
Note: The value of bootargs does not affect MOTLoad operation in anyway. It merely is a
string that is passed to the OS when the OS is started.
