To set bootpaths when at the BCH(when you interrupt the boot process)

path pri
path alt

To set primary and alternate bootpaths (once you are in multi-user mode)

setboot -p -a

once you are booted, to determine which disk you are booted off of,
echo boot_string/S|adb /stand/vmunix /dev/mem


here is the syntax for setboot:

>setboot
Primary bootpath : 0/0/1/1.2.0
Alternate bootpath : 0/0/2/0.2.0

Autoboot is ON (enabled)
Autosearch is ON (enabled)

You can then use the flags

-p to set primary path
-a to set alternate path
-b autoboot on/off
-s autoserch on/off


Hope this helps

Hi,

if you want to boot from alternate disk/tape/cdrom you must

1. start server
2. when you will see:
"To discontinue, press any key within 10"
press any key
3. type sea command to scan devices
4. boot from you alternated device
ex:
bo p3
5. when you want to go into single user mode
you have to interact with IPL and
type command: hpux -is

Since the BMC Log is full you can reset it by
pressing the Reset-Button (in the backside of teh serevr)and hold the 'P' in the console keyboard simultaniously .Then Follow the instruction on the screen.
