Boot Path changes during boot of rx4640 11.23

[Joe Profaizer]

I have an IA-64 rx4640 running Virtual Machine software. After I installed and configured a VM guest I rebooted the system from DVD and did an ignite restore to a different target system disk on our EMC CX700. The OS installed just fine on the target disk (0/2/1/0.6.0.0.0.0.0)
My original HW boot path for the VM is 0/1/1/0.0.0 (c2t0d0s2). The newly created system disk's boot path is 0/2/1/0.6.0.0.0.0.0 (c4t0d0s2). Upon rebooting the system I changed the primary boot path back to the original boot path of 0/1/1/0.0.0 as I interrupted the boot and changed it and saved it.
When the sytem boots is displays that it's booting from 0/1/1/0.0.0, however during the boot process the system displays:
Boot device's HP-UX HW path is: 0/2/1/0.6.0.0.0.0.0 right after it scans the network devices.

Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening?

Thanks in advance.

I don't understand why it reverts back to 0/2/1/0.6.0.0.0.0.0 when it is supposed to boot from 0/1/1/0.0.0.

The message displays immediately after it discovers and claims the Tachyon XL2 Fibre Channel Mass Storage cards:

td: claimed Tachyon XL2 Fibre Channel Mass Storage card at 0/2/1/0
Boot device's HP-UX HW path is: 0/2/1/0.6.0.0.0.0.0


Thanks in advance

Shalom,

the mkboot command should handle this.

---snippet---
lvlnboot -r /dev/vg00/lvol3 # root fs /
lvlnboot -s /dev/vg00/lvol2 #swap
lvlnboot -d /dev/vg00/lvol2 #swap/dump
lvlnboot -b /dev/vg00/lvol1
lvlnboot -R
lvlnboot -v
setboot
setboot -a 52.1.0 # second disk

But why does it boot from a disk that I have strictly defined to the system to avoid?

The setboot command fixed the issue I believe. I'm still verifying.
