I have a customer that has what I think is a service menu come up whenever they reboot their AIX system. It prompts them for keyboard, terminal type, then it says config or exit. Once they select exit it prompts them for a user id and password.
Does anybody know how to turn this thing off so it boots straight to an AIX login prompt?

Thanks for your help.

Sounds like the service processor menu, turn off multiboot.

Then again it could be SMS in which case change the boot mode from SMS to normal.

What is the menu description at the top of the screen?

What type of system is it? p4, p5, some old AIX 3.2.5 system? give us a clue!

When it boots AIX get them to send in the lsconf output, or at least email the lsconf | head output if they are not in the twentieth century :-)

Actually, somebody in another forum suggested that it's an installation assist menu. This makes sense because the customer did a fresh install after doing something really stupid.
Do you know how to turn off installation assist without having to reboot the system?

Oh, it's a P5 running AIX 5.3

If you complete the installation menu and exit to a shell it should remove the entry from /etc/inittab that starts the menu on reboot
