Which Boot Disk

dan e nolan — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 10:42:38 GMT

Hello,
Is there a way to confirm which disk was used to boot? I'm running 11.23 on an IA system.
Thanks.

Try lvlnboot -v

It will tell you what you need to know.

setboot command will show what you are after.

you can do witht sysinfo script, this script will tell you wich is the boot disk, and will show you a map of all disks.

Hi

#lvlnboot -v will show you the boot disks.

# setboot will give you the h/w paths for these disks.

Also use :
grep "Boot device" /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
