#setboot -p
check the man pages of setboot.

Run the "setboot" command to determinate the hardware path of alternate and primary disk:

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

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

To change:

# setboot -p primary_bootdisk

# setboot -a alternate_bootdisk

Note that booting from primary or alternate path will not change anything set on the permanent storage. You have to change the
primary or alternate path first that will cause a permanet change of settings.

From the PDC. Use 'sea ipl' to find bootable devices and then 'pa pri' and 'pa alt' to set paths. Then if you'll want to boot from another (alternate) disk you should stop workstation in PDC prompt and type 'bo alt'
