What will be the impact,if i edit /stand/bootconf file ?

[arunthoray]

When i tried to fire ignite backup the disk which is shown in /etc/bootconf is not the one is in root disk,thus the backup got failed.

Hence i need to change the /etc/bootconf file.Pls find the output as shown below,

#lvlnboot -v
Boot Definitions for Volume Group /dev/vg00:

        /dev/disk/disk16_p2 -- Boot Disk
        /dev/disk/disk13_p2 -- Boot Disk

                        /dev/disk/disk13_p2

                        /dev/disk/disk13_p2

                        /dev/disk/disk13_p2

#cat /stand/bootconf
l  /dev/disk/disk9_p2

Ignite error

Simply edit the file.  There should be no negative impact on your system.

Open the file with 'vi' and edit it so it looks like:

# cat /stand/bootconf

l  /dev/disk/disk13_p2

l  /dev/disk/disk16_p2

Now when you run Ignite it should work fine.
