SRM Console
The SRM console is the command-line interface that allows you to set
up and boot the operating system, display the system configuration, set
environment variables, and perform basic system troubleshooting.
SRM firmware is located in a flash ROM (read-only memory) on the system board. The SRM console firmware is described in detail in
Chapter 5, Firmware.
The following sections cover functions you can perform from SRM.
