Booting server with alternate disk

Amarnath D — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 08:35:36 GMT

Hello All, i would like to know is there any command for changing the primary boot path for next boot while server is in multiuser mode.

Server model: IA64 rx6600
OS: HP-UX 11.33

Presently i have 2 internal disk on this server and 1 for dev and other for DR, in case of DR i need to set the alternate boot and initiate reboot. upon reboot server should boot from alternate disk. the DR server default runlevel is set to 1.
