| In our example vPars in Chapter 2, we had autoboot set to off for our Virtual Partition. The setboot command on a non-vPars system reads from and writes to stable storage. On a vPars system the setboot command interacts with the Virtual Partition database. Running setboot on a vPars system has the effects shown in Table 3-2: Table 3-2. setboot and Virtual Partitions| vPars setboot Option | Description |
|---|
| -a | Changes the alternate boot path of the Virtual Partition. To set the alternate boot path: # setboot -a 0/8/0/0.8.0.5.0.0.0 | | -b | Sets the autoboot attribute of the Virtual Partition. To set Autoboot on: # setboot -b on | | -p | Changes the primary boot path of the Virtual Partition. To set the primary boot path: # setboot -p 0/0/1/1.2.0 | | -s | Has no effect. | | no options | Displays information about boot attributes. |
The setboot command is one of the aspects of working with vPars that is different from a non-vPars system. | | You can also set the primary and alternate boot paths with vparmodify. |
