The Boot Console Interface

Displaying and Setting Paths

To display the current setting for a particular system path, follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console Interface” earlier in this appendix, and then type the following at the prompt:

Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > path path_type

where path_type is one of the path types listed in Table 24.

For example, to get the path to the primary boot device, follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console Interface” earlier in this chapter, and then type the following at the prompt:

Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > path primary

To set a system path to a new value, follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console Interface” earlier in this chapter, and then type the following at the prompt:

Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > path path_type path

where path_type is one of the path types listed in Table 24 and path is the specification of the path in Mnemonic Style Notation (as described in Table 25). For example, to set the primary boot path to a scsi disk with an ID of 6.0, follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console Interface” earlier in this appendix, and then type the following at the prompt:

Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > path pri scsi.6.0
