______________________ Note _______________________

The only Fibre Channel devices displayed by the console show dev command are those devices that have been assigned to a wwid<n> environment variable.

Before you start the Tru64 UNIX installation, you must set the bootdef_dev console environment variable.

6.6.3 Setting the bootdef_dev Console Environment Variable

When booting from Fibre Channel devices, you must set the bootdef_dev console environment variable to ensure that the installation procedure is able to boot the system after building the new kernel.

______________________ Notes ______________________

The bootdef_dev environment variable values must point to the same HSG80.

After the base operating system has been installed, or after cluster software has been installed for a cluster member system, set the bootdef_dev console environment variable again to provide multiple boot paths (see Section 6.8).

It would do no good to set bootdef_dev for multiple boot paths now because the installation procedure overwrites the variable.

The following procedure is used for:

•The initial Tru64 UNIX installation before booting from CD-ROM.
