Hi
There can be only one copy of AUTO file in the LIF area of any bootable disk.
This contains boot cmd and options.

First you have to remove the existing one and then only u can place another AUTO file, lifcp will not overwrite the file.

Pl. confirm from lifls first , and then take backup of exiting one . then remove it . finally copy your AUTO file there.

# lifls -l /dev/rdsk/cxtxdx
# lifcp /dev/rdsk/cxtxdx:AUTO /tmp/AUTO.bck
edit the file or place new one after removing the old file
#lifrm /dev/rdsk/cxtxdx:AUTO
#lifcp -T -12289 /tmp/AUTO.bck /dev/rdsk/cxtxdx:AUTO

where -12289 is the type of AUTO file , which u can see from lifls -l output.

Thanks

Charu
