Boot Disk Aliases

SunStorEdge Volume Manager boot disk aliases are not automatically updated

when a disk is physically relocated. Youmust update boot aliases manually using

the eeprom command when you relocate an HDD module.

Youmight prefer to use the aliases defined by the PROM, for example, a-dsk1.

These aliases, however,reflect the location of disks, rather than the specific virtual

disk. See the OpenBoot 3.x Command Reference Manual (Part Number 802-5837-10) for

details.

Note – Be sure that the EEPROM variable use-nvramrc is set to true. Use of the

NVRAM startup file (NVRAMRC) is required for correctoperation of the Volume

Manager software.

Note – There is a limit to the number of characters that can be stored in the

NVRAMRC. Therefore, there is a limit on the number of boot disk aliases that can be

recorded in it.
