Unless something has changed with 11iVx the setboot command by itself will give you the boot info.

# setboot
# man setboot

Filo,

Run the "setboot" command:

$ setboot
Primary bootpath : 8/0/19/0.6.0
Alternate bootpath : 8/16/5.2.0

Autoboot is ON (enabled)
Autosearch is OFF (disabled)

Hello,
I just try to execute setboot command and I see that like alternate bootpath there is 0/0/0/0.0.0.
It's possible?

Thanks

Your alternate boot path might not have been set. You can do it with:

# setboot -a alternate_path
# setboot (to view)

[Filosofo]

If I boot from an alternate path, after the boot I see Like primary path the last alternate path?
I hope that you can undestand my question.
If I before the boot I execute the setboot comman adn I see
Primary bootpath : 6/0/1/0/0.1.0
Alternate bootpath : 3/0/3/0/0.0.0

After the boot from alternate path I see styll this output?

Booting from either path will not affect the value of primary and alternate paths stored in stable storage. You have to specifically change the paths during boot or via the setboot command.

Again, booting from primary or alternate path will not change anything set on the permanent storage. If you are changing the primary or alternate path first that will cause a permanet change of settings. Otherwise, you will get the same result when you execute the command.
