No disk devices found despite of 2 Boot disk created

[ROUCHON]

Although I had made two bootable disk, i don't saw it when at the console menu , i did "sea IPL" ?
I can startup system on both of those disk ( bo pri and bo alt worked fine ! )

Is it normal ?

Hi

From what I can remember, you just type

sea

This will list all devces that the server can see, you then type

boo pri or alt or other path

When you do a search for bootable devices its only a guide - its not guaranteed. Its only a tool to possibly help you. If you ran it a few times it would probably find it (and your output would probably vary each time!), but it depends on things like SCSI cable lengths etc. so thats why sometimes it doesnt show up.

As long as you program your bootable devices into the primary and alt boot paths using setboot then you should be safe enough.
