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:

  • winona2# setboot -b on

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).
