On a vPars hard partition, the setboot command does not read from or write to stable storage.
Instead, the setboot command reads from and writes to the vPars partition
database, affecting only the entries of the virtual partition from
which the setboot command was run.
For example, if you are logged into winona2 and
execute the command:
this would set the autoboot attribute to AUTO for the virtual partition winona2.
The actions of setboot on a vPars hard partition are:
setboot option | vPars effect |
|---|
-p | changes the primary boot path of the
virtual partition |
-a | changes the alternate boot path of the
virtual partition |
-s | no effect |
-b | sets the autoboot attribute of the virtual partition |
no options | displays the primary boot path, alternate boot
path, and autoboot attribute of the virtual partition |

 | NOTE: To modify stable storage, you must go to the BCH (Boot
Console Handler). |
